Carved Driftwood Candleholder

$750

A piece of found driftwood is the stuff of imagination. Where did it come from and where will it go. The unknown artist who carved this sinuously shaped candleholder from a single block of wood clearly found inspiration in the line of the grain and the form of the driftwood itself.

The carving is highly sculptural, with a smooth finish and a modernist biomorphic foot and body. At the same time, the artist brought their own idea of what a candleholder should be from a real-life usage standpoint and carved a decorative scalloped candle cup to finish. As a whole, this is a remarkable sculptural carving, revealing tactile contours and shapes in every direction.
