Description

Nambé "Swirl Staircase" Votive Holder in Acacia Wood & Polished Alloy

A sculptural seven-light votive holder from Nambé, model MT0336 "Swirl Staircase", pairing the company's signature polished alloy with warm, plank-laminated acacia hardwood. The crescent form rises in a staircase sweep, with seven recessed candle wells set into the alloy band — an architectural centerpiece that reads as both functional candleholder and standalone sculpture.

Founded in Nambé, New Mexico in 1951, the company built its reputation on a proprietary eight-metal alloy with the look of silver and the heat-retention of cast iron. This piece reflects their later design vocabulary — mixed materials, sweeping curves, and dramatic scale. Holds seven candles in graduated arrangement; designed for unscented votives or tapers sized to the wells.


CONDITION

Good. Scuffing and visible signs of use to the polished alloy consistent with display; no remarkable damage. Acacia base shows natural grain variation and minor surface marks.
