1940s Tommi Parzinger, Solid Brass Candlestick set, Design for Dorlyn Silversmiths
sold out
1940s Large Brass MCM Candlesticks designed by Tommi Parzinger for Dorlyn Silversmiths
Materials: Solid Brass
Brand / Maker: Dorlyn Silversmiths - Model 11 marked on the verso of the base
Era: 1940s-1950s
This stylish set of solid brass candle sticks Model #11 were designed by Tommi Parzinger for Dorlyn Silversmiths. With Deco lines and dramatic scale, these are Rare gems! In his day, Parzinger was collected by the Rockefellers, the Duponts, Marilyn Monroe, and Arthur Miller.
Note: There is a small hairline crack at the base (dish) of one candlestick holder. Does not affect the overall beauty or function of the item. See close-up photos for details.
Born in Munich as the son of a famous sculptor, Tommi Parzinger would study a variety of arts and crafts, including graphic design, ceramics, glass, woodworking, and metalwork. Part of the large group of artists and designers—including Anni and Josef Albers, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius—who fled Germany, Parzinger relocated to New York in 1932. Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, the designer unabashedly embraced tradition. “Modernism means freedom,” he said, “freedom to mix, choose, change, embrace the new, but to hold fast to what is good.” Parzinger is best known for his opulent, hand-hammered silverware, but he also applied his signature ornamentation to larger furniture designs like four-poster beds and mahogany dining tables, all of which continue to be sought after today.
