Five-Branch Candelabrum in Stoneware — Brutalist Aesthetic — Circa 1960-1970

A five-branch candelabrum in stoneware, an emblematic example of the Brutalist movement of the 1960s-70s. The piece is distinguished by its organic, sculptural character, evoking arboreal or primitive anthropomorphic forms.

The treatment of the material is remarkable: an earthy glaze in ochre-brown tones with a rough, scarified texture that catches the light. The circular base, pierced with almond-shaped openings, anchors the visual balance while reinforcing the architectural quality.

This work fits naturally within the tradition of La Borne ceramics or the practice of artists such as Robert Deblander and the Accolay workshop in its most raw productions. It bears witness to a return to source materials and the hand of the maker characteristic of the second half of the 20th century.

The base bears two felt-tip marks covering a 'Calsat' signature.
