Gio PONTI (1891–1979) for CHRISTOFLE. Pair of silver plated candlesticks with two intertwined arms (one spot of corrosion on a candlestick base). Marked. Height: 21 cm Note: The collaboration between Gio Ponti and Christofle was relatively brief but particularly interesting, as it marked a convergence between Italian modernism and the great tradition of French silversmithing.
