About the Item

A strikingly sculptural, hand-turned candleholder crafted from solid pine by Swedish artisan S. Hellgren, dated 1979 and inscribed "Julen 1979." This unique piece features nine candle arms radiating from a central axis, showcasing the natural beauty of the woodgrain and the geometric precision of mid-century Scandinavian folk design. With its rhythmic arrangement of turned spheres and cylinders, this monumental candelabra serves equally well as a bold holiday centerpiece or a year-round statement in a modern rustic or minimalist interior. The craftsmanship, scale, and warm tone of the pine give it a timeless presence.
