The group exemplifies Ollers’ distinctive Scandinavian functionalism, characterized by balanced proportions, softly turned forms, and restrained elegance. The set consists of four individual pieces: One oval pewter tray One large pillar candlestick One small pillar candlestick One small candlestick intended for taper candles Each element is stamped and dated, reflecting different production years while maintaining a harmonious visual language. Together, they create a striking and versatile display, equally suitable as a centerpiece or arranged individually. The pewter has developed a gentle, authentic patina over time. Condition is good, with minor dents and surface wear consistent with age and use, contributing to the character and authenticity of the pieces.
