Pair of candlesticks of stylized design, composed of a circular base with striated molding of classical inspiration, from which two curved arms depart. The elegance of the lines and the absence of excessive decoration respond to a sober and functional aesthetic, characteristic of much of the Spanish goldsmithery of the twentieth century, where traditional forms are reinterpreted adapting them to more modern tastes.
These pieces are part of the domestic or ceremonial trousseau, reflecting both the utilitarian and representative value of silver in contemporary material culture.
