Product description
A brass candlestick produced by Ystad Metall in the 1960s, characterized by a base composed of four scrolls forming a stable and sculptural support. The upper section features four vertical tabs that hold a cylindrical candle. The object is constructed entirely of metal, typical of the Swedish manufacturer's work.
This model embodies the Nordic aesthetic of the mid-20th century: clean forms, curved lines, and a focus on functionality. Brass, an emblematic material of Ystad Metall, lends a warm presence and a soft sheen, enhanced by the even patina acquired over time.
The piece is often associated with the formal vocabulary of Ivar Ålenius-Björk, an iconic Ystad Metall designer known for his decorative brass creations. This candlestick exemplifies Scandinavian production of the period, combining structural simplicity with decorative expression.
