This pair of eFeCe Lisboa brutalist silver plated candle stick covers were produced during the late 1960's to 1970's in Portugal.
Dimensions are:
4.5 inches tall and1.5 inches in diameter
During this era, European metal work and homeware design leaned heavily into the Brutalist movement. Designers shifted away from the clean, sleek lines of early mid-century modernism to embrace raw, textured and highly sculptural forms.
The distinctive "looped ribbon" technique or industrial "shaving" seen on these candle sticks holders was a signature esthetics of eFeCe during this decade, transforming everyday functional tableware into striking, industrial art pieces.
eFeCe is widely known for striking avant gard Post Modern/ Art Deco Revival metal table articles and hollowware. eFeCe closed its business in the 1980's. These candlestick holders are sought after by collectors of vintage Portuguese and post modern metal design.
These candle stick covers are design to slide directly over standard taper candlesticks. The hollow sleeve provides structural support while the dense rows of curled reflective silver plated ribbons act as a highly stylized bobeche/guard to catch stray wax drips and beautifully catch the flickering glow of a flame.
