The piece features slender, black metal arms with smoothly curved lines that radiate from the center of the structure at varying heights. Their asymmetrical arrangement lends the piece a sense of rhythm and lightness, while maintaining balanced proportions.

Each arm is topped with a brass finial in the shape of a small cup with a profile that widens toward the top. The golden hue of the polished brass contrasts sharply with the dark surface of the metal structure. At the base, the arms converge into a compact, arched junction, accentuated by a decorative brass ring. The entire piece rests on a flat, oval base.

The design combines a linear, almost sketch-like structure with a sculptural arrangement of the arms. The juxtaposition of black metal and brass—characteristic of Ander’s work—gives the object a distinctive yet understated form. The candlestick is an example of mid-20th-century Swedish functional design, in which functionality is combined with decorative metalwork. This piece has an attribution mark,
