A striking graduated set of three Indian painted wooden candlesticks, each of baluster and reel-turned form, richly decorated in bold lacquered bands of crimson red, olive ochre and black with delicate lined detailing throughout.
The candlesticks possess a wonderfully graphic quality, their vibrant palette recalling both traditional Indian decorative arts and the playful geometry of early 20th century folk modernism. The varying heights create a sculptural rhythm when displayed together, whilst the hand-painted surfaces retain an appealing tactile character and subtle evidence of use.
India, 20th century.
