Amsterdam School Candleholders

A rare pair of Amsterdam School candleholders in warm-toned hardwood with curved brass arms. The vertical body—sculpted with stepped grooves and a sharply peaked top—echoes the architectural vocabulary of Dutch expressionism. Brass arms extend with a stylized flourish, balancing structural rhythm with ornament.

Crafted in the Netherlands during the 1920s, these pieces reflect the movement’s emphasis on craftsmanship, material honesty, and expressive form. Sculptural on their own or flanking a mantel, they invite a quiet sense of ceremony.
