Mid-Century Charles Lesters Turned Wooden 5-Arm Candelabra. Brass inserts

Charles Lesters was a designer and manufacturer known for his distinctive wooden home decor items, particularly during the mid-20th century. His pieces often featured organic shapes and a focus on natural materials, aligning with the prevailing mid-century modern design trends. The company produced a range of decorative objects, including lamps, bowls, and candelabra, which are now sought after by collectors of vintage home furnishings. This particular candelabra, with its five-arm design and carved wooden structure, exemplifies the functional yet artistic approach characteristic of Lesters' work. The inclusion of metallic inserts in the candle cups is a practical detail that enhances the longevity and safety of the piece. Such items were popular in homes during the 1950s and 1960s, adding a touch of warmth and sculptural interest to interior spaces.
