Executed in solid bronze, these sculptural works embody the refined elegance and restrained modernism characteristic of scandinavian art deco. Each candelabra is composed with a strong architectural presence, featuring a ribbed central globe rising from a faceted octagonal base, supporting gracefully curved arms with minimalist tulip-form candle cups. The bronze surface displays a beautifully developed, nuanced patina with subtle green undertones, enhancing the depth and visual richness of the material. The interplay between geometric structure and soft curvature reflects ängman’s distinctive balance of form and function. Both decorative and functional, the pair reads as sculptural objects even when unlit—equally suited to modern, classic, or minimal interiors. A highly collectible example of swedish modernist metalwork from one of the country’s leading designers and silversmithing firms of the early 20th century.
