Description:
This is a set of three candle holders crafted in a turned wood technique, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. Their clean, elongated forms and simple round bases are indicative of Mid-Century Modern design, which favors organic shapes and minimal ornamentation. The matching yet varied proportions suggest they were intended as a decorative grouping. The finish appears smooth, and the wood could be maple or cherry, giving a warm, reddish hue.
