About the Item

Beautifully handcrafted in Sweden during the 1940s, this pair of Scandinavian Modern wall-mounted candle holders showcases the warmth and character of solid pine. With sculptural lines, soft curves and carved shell-like details at the top, the design echoes the tradition of Nordic folk craftsmanship while embracing the simplicity and functionality of early modernism. Each piece is carefully shaped and joined by hand, with a natural stained finish that highlights the rich wood grain. The darker accents on the carved details and candle arms add depth and visual contrast. These candle sconces are not only practical but also highly decorative—perfect for adding a touch of Scandinavian charm to any interior.
