Absolutely stunning pair of midcentury modern organic artist signed faux bois candlesticks. They have a beautiful aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese midcentury style but are presumed to be American made. They are assumed to be bronze but could also be copper or another type of metal and they appear to be solid and not plated or have an applied patina.
Each one is signed on the base with a signature that is hard to determine as each of the artist’s signature appears to be hand signed and slightly different but appears to be R Kio or possibly R Kao. They were acquired several years ago from an amazing estate in the prestigious Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage just outside of Palm Springs, California
Original patina is intact with one candlestick having a slight scratch and also minimal corrosion that only add to their originality and charm. Remnants of wax remain in each area where candles go but very little of any on the outside.
They measure slightly under 7” tall, slightly over 2” wide, and have a combined weight of 476 grams.
