Striking MCM Gold Spangled Black Metal Candle Stand Abstract Cubist Color Sculpture Unsigned This wonderful but unidentified piece with both striking shapes and colors is an iconic MCM Abstract Cubist Metal Sculpture and Candle Holder. Believed to date from the 1950s. A solid piece in very good condition for its age and use. ! Colors: Gold Spangled Black, Matte Green, a smokey Matte Cream White, a dark Orangey Metallic Copper Red and a Metallic less coppery Red. I found it impossible to do justice to the metallic glow in my photographs. Representative of the Atomic Era, with very earthy colors! Condition: Mid Century Modernism. Here and there are some small bumps or dents that appear to be from the time of manufacture as they do not show any greater wear than the surrounding areas. In excellent condition with no loose parts. There may be minor edge wear on the paint of some of the abstract shapes – but that may also simply be from the time this piece was created. I have not found another like it to compare it to. A beautiful piece, deeply reflective of the avant garde abstract movement period when it was created. Total Height: 17 1/2 inches 5 Candle holder’s heights from base: 17, 15 1/2, 13 1/2, 12, and 10 inches. Base is rectangular with rounded corners. Base Width 21 inches Base Depth: 4 inches Base height: 1/2 inch Candle holder bowl: 3 3/4 inches across Weight: 4 pounds 1 oz , There is a Gold sticker and a sticker with a Caution on the bottom of the base. The designer/ sculptor/ maker in unknown. While various manufacturers have used similar phrasing, this specific gold-foil sticker with the text This product made with safe paint. It seems iconic for the time period and yet I have not yet found another like it.
