Designed to hold seven candles, the piece carries both a sculptural presence and a timeless sense of tradition.

The candelabra is made of black wrought iron, giving it a strong architectural silhouette, while the central stem in brass adds a warm and refined contrast. Its tripod base ensures stability while contributing to its light, airy structure. The upward-reaching candleholders are tapered, lending a sense of height and grace, almost like stylized branches extending toward the sky.

This type of Swedish mid-century wrought iron work was often produced in smaller workshops, where craftsmanship and detail were at the center of production. Pieces like this were not just utilitarian but designed to enrich the atmosphere of a home with both light and sculptural beauty.
