Description

This candle holder is not just a piece of furniture, but a true fragment of nature transformed into art. Made from a cylindrical section of a tree trunk, it captures the mystical essence of alpine forests. The outer part retains its original bark, rough and authentic, with deep fissures that bear witness to its wild life. The contrast emerges in the upper surface and in the side carvings: here the wood, smooth and light, reveals artisanal mastery.

The central cavity, carved horizontally, is designed to house a candle or the semi-spherical decorative element, whose embossed motif resembles a stylized tree. The side carvings are an ode to the fauna and flora of Val Gardena, with detailed depictions of trees and a majestic stag with antlers, symbols of strength and regeneration.

This 13 cm sculpture is expertly crafted from precious Maple Wood, the material preferred by our master carvers for small and medium-sized works, ensuring extreme precision in details and a durable finish. A unique Dolfi piece that brings the peace and warmth of the forest directly into your home.

Detail & Meaning
Questo candeliere incarna la connessione spirituale tra l'uomo e la natura alpina. Il tronco, base della vita vegetale, simboleggia stabilità, longevità e il ciclo continuo della natura. Gli intagli raffiguranti alberi stilizzati e il cervo (o animale con palchi) richiamano la forza indomita della foresta. Nelle tradizioni alpine, il cervo è spesso visto come una guida spirituale e un potente simbolo di rigenerazione, grazie alla perdita e ricrescita annuale dei palchi. Un significato profondo che si sposa perfettamente con l'oggetto, destinato a portare luce e calore (la fiamma) in un ambiente domestico.
Story
L'arte dell'intaglio in Val Gardena ha radici profonde che risalgono al XVII secolo, sviluppandosi in risposta alla necessità di integrare i magri guadagni agricoli invernali. Gli artigiani si specializzarono inizialmente in oggetti sacri e giocattoli, espandendosi poi a sculture decorative che celebravano la vita alpina e la natura circostante. L'utilizzo di elementi grezzi come la corteccia in pezzi d'arredo come questo candeliere è una tendenza più recente che sottolinea la sostenibilità e l'autenticità dei materiali, fondendo la tradizione secolare dell'intaglio con un design rustico e contemporaneo che celebra la bellezza intatta delle Dolomiti.
