A Rare Pair of Candelabras in "Fat Lava", by Marius Giuge Vallauris - 1960s
By Marius Giuge
Located in MOUGINS, FR
This pair of 37 cm high three-light candelabras features scrolls at the top and base of the shaft, constructed directly as a base in a "water foam" design.

An iconic example of Marius Giuge's production in the 1960s and 1970s, the pair is signed 3 times under each piece: MARIUS GIUGE – VALLAURIS...
