WWI Brass Propeller Candlestick Holders – Trench Art Pair, Sculptural Nautical Form
Couldn't load pickup availability
A striking pair of sculptural candlestick holders, handmade from salvaged WWI-era brass propeller blades. Each piece has been adapted into a tripod form, with a smooth, curved silhouette that echoes both the mechanical and the ceremonial. Compact in size yet rich in detail, their aged patina and golden glow bring a tactile warmth to any mantelpiece, shelf, or table.
Crafted from authentic wartime aviation or maritime propeller parts, these pieces belong to a genre known as trench art—objects created by soldiers or civilians using the remnants of conflict. Brass was among the most commonly reused materials post-WWI, often polished or turned into mementoes and decorative objects. Today, this pair offers both historical significance and sculptural beauty—perfect for collectors or lovers of storied objects.
