A pair of extremely elegant mid-century modernist silver-plate candlesticks, circa 1940.
Modernist style, emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasised simplicity, function, and a break from traditional forms. Rooted in minimalism, modernism embraced clean lines, open spaces, and the use of industrial materials like steel, glass, and concrete.
Key figures like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe championed "form follows function" principles. In art, architecture, and design, modernism sought to reflect the technological advancements and social changes of the modern age, focusing on innovation and clarity.
