They offer an exploded form sculpted, by hand, and cast in bronze, consisting of an elongated biomorphic form- with two heads and four feet- suggesting a mythological creature in the midst of ambling. Rock crystals are fitted along the back of this animal-like form, while one of the heads of each supports a carved rock crystal bobeche and opening intended for a candle. These pieces are as much candleholders, as they are compelling objet d'art- handcrafted and unique. Simultaneously Brutalist and Baroque, they would be a winning addition to any style of decor from old world to contemporary. These candlesticks come with a certificate of authenticity, documenting that they are authentic and original items by the artist. They bare Claude Boeltz's signature stamp and are in excellent condition.
