Sourced from Sweden. I loved the folk art quality of this one—the way someone turned each bulbous section on a lathe and how the iron scrolls feel almost whimsical against the formality of the painted wood. The paint has worn through in places to show older layers underneath, exactly what you want in a piece like this. Missing a few screws on the candle arms (easy fix with a trip to the hardware store) and shows honest surface dirt and age-appropriate wear throughout. Requires professional rewiring for US electrical standards before hanging. 26" diameter × 30" tall. See less
