Origin & Maker

While these brass candle stands bear no specific maker’s mark, their design and craftsmanship are characteristic of mid-century Swedish metalwork. Sweden has a long tradition of producing high-quality brass items, particularly in the 1950s, when Scandinavian design emphasised functionality, simplicity, and timeless elegance. The ingenious swiveling base suggests a nautical influence, possibly inspired by maritime lighting solutions designed to stay upright aboard moving vessels.

This clever combination of utility and beauty reflects the era’s design philosophy—creating objects that seamlessly blend practicality with artistic expression. Similar styles have been associated with renowned Swedish designers of the time, making these candle stands a striking and authentic representation of Scandinavian design heritage.
