Candelabrum, Bruno Paul, 1901, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

Cast and wrought; comprised of twelve arms and central shaft for a total of thirteen candle holders; the arms swivel round the center shaft so that they may be arranged in the same plane or at right angles to each other, forming a three-dimensional stylized tree The ceremonial appearance and considerable size of this twelve-armed candelabrum make it among the most compelling of German Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) metalworks. The arms swivel around the central shaft forming a three-dimensional tree form or, as here, may be arranged with the arms in a row suggesting a stylized peacock. Designed in 1901, it was being sold in several sizes by the Vereinigte Werkstätte until at least 1914. To date, few versions of this candelabrum have been recorded. Size: 16 1/2 x 27 x 9 in. (41.91 x 68.58 x 22.86 cm) Medium: Cast and wrought brass
