The candleholders

The story

Born from a meeting between the designer Werner Stoff and the manufacturer Hans Nagel, the S22 candleholder model is flexible and timeless. Like a construction game where everyone can express their creativity, it blends in perfectly with each decoration!

The vintage candlestick... where do they come from?

Our vintage modular candlesticks are mainly sourced by us in France and Germany. We also have a small network of junk dealers who play for us the role of reel by selling us all of their candle holders, or rather those we accept. We are indeed very demanding on their condition, and therefore very selective to purchase.

You will not find here a candleholder in bad condition, twisted, broken and glued (it is often the case of candlesticks Nagel, fragile at the junction of the foot), repainted …

All our candle holders are then cleaned and repolished by hand, then sorted according to their condition.

New candleholders: STOFF, the reedition

The Nagel candleholder, which was no longer produced since the 1980s, has been reissued since 2015 by STOFF (Denmark).
Today the range has expanded and offers several finishes, including chrome, brass and black, as well as several accessories: cup, foot, vase.

A passion to share

In addition to our candle holders on sale, you will find here a lot of information about vintage modular candle holders. There is not much information about them on the Internet or in specialized books, the rare information is the brands and designers displayed on the cards of merchants and auctions, unfortunately it is often false and generally very confused: bad attribution of the mark (generally confusion between Nagel and BMF), bad attribution of the designer (Ceasar Stoffi instead of Werner Stoff) …

All our information comes from our research, carried out with passion over the years, and are issued only from period documents: magazines and advertisements of the 70s, boxes and documentation of origin, which you will find on some photos.
