The Jens Quistgaard Spider candle holder is an iconic design from the 1960s, manufactured for Dansk Designs. This specific model, characterized by its sculptural, spider-like shape, is a classic example of mid-20th century Danish design.
The candle holder is entirely made of cast iron and has a dark, almost black finish. With a diameter of 12 centimeters and a height of 3.5 centimeters, it is a compact yet striking object. The design accommodates twelve very thin candles, also known as Tiny Tapers, with a diameter of 6 to 7 millimeters. The object features the original stamps on the underside, confirming its authenticity.
The cast iron shows an authentic patina consistent with the object's age. The structure is completely intact and the original finish has been preserved, contributing to the historical character of this collector's item.
This candle holder fits perfectly into a minimalist or Scandinavian interior. The object functions both as a practical utensil and a decorative sculpture on a sideboard or dining table.
