Aluminium and Brass Candlestick by David Marshall (circa 1980s)
SKU 2388
A striking Brutalist candlestick by renowned designer David Marshall, dating to the 1980s. Weighty and tactile, this sculptural piece features a cast aluminium stem bearing the maker’s mark impressed at the base. It rises from a raised square brass plinth—shiny yet aged, with intentional surface variations, nicks, and marks that exemplify the Brutalist aesthetic. This example is in good overall condition. Of particular note is the underside, where both the impressed maker's stamp and an original authenticity sticker remain intact—an uncommon and exceptional detail that enhances provenance and collectability. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
