Modular candleholders - like Nagel
A beautiful pair of vintage German modular candleholders from the 1960s–70s — an elegant alternative to the famous Nagel pieces, with their own quieter, more architectural voice.
Each module is built from ribbed conical cups and slim cylindrical legs connected by flat, arched bridges. The result is a candleholder that feels both sculptural and weightless, like a small piece of mid-century architecture made for the home.
They can be used individually or stacked into a tiered composition, creating a soft constellation of candlelight in the room.
The metal carries its original warm patina, a lived-in glow that comes only with time. They look beautiful on a windowsill, dining table, or sideboard — especially when lit.
A rare find with incredible styling potential.
