Bring an element of soulful vintage whimsy to your tabletops with this modular set of two mid-century solid brass elephant candle holders. Originally designed by Haku in Germany during the 1960s, these interlocking Art Deco pieces feature a clever design where the trunk of one elephant holds the candle bobeche that links into the rear tail hook of the preceding pachyderm.
Whether styled down the center of a dining table as a continuous parade, or split up as intentional bookends on a library shelf, their warm patina and weighted brutalist form elevate any vignette.
Design & Styling Insights
MCM Brutalist Appeal: The rounded, stylized elephant shapes offer a beautiful blend of organic form and industrial, mid-century design architecture.
Modular Versatility: These can be linked tightly together or spaced out, working beautifully with standard taper candles.
Warm Aged Finish: Features an authentic golden-era brass patina with gentle, aged character that grounds modern interior spaces.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with natural age-earned patina. Unpolished to maintain original character, though they can be shined to a bright gold if preferred.
Materials: Solid Cast Brass
Origin: Mid-Century German Design (Haku)
