These striking pieces exemplify andersen’s signature fusion of streamlined art deco elegance and scandinavian restraint. Each candelabrum features gracefully arched arms radiating from a faceted hexagonal base, creating a sculptural yet highly functional form. The design is elevated by a central sphere of amber-toned bakelite, introducing a subtle warmth and material contrast against the cool sheen of the silver plate. The refined curvature and symmetry give the pair a strong architectural presence, making them ideal for both decorative display and formal table settings. A testament to andersen’s collaboration with gab—one of sweden’s most respected silversmiths—these candelabra reflect some of the finest metalwork of the period.
