Danish Brutalism in Cast Iron & Blue Glass
A bold architectural candle holder by Dantoft, Denmark — one of the most distinctive makers of Brutalist decorative metalwork in the 1960s. Heavy solid black iron forms the geometric frame, while deep blue glass inserts catch and diffuse candlelight into a warm, atmospheric glow. A sculptural object as much as a functional one.
Labelled by the maker: “Dantoft, Danish Design” — confirming its authentic provenance. Very good vintage condition with no significant damage.
