About the Item
A striking example of Swedish craftsmanship, this Scandinavian Modern “Mjölby Intarsia” Advent candleholder from the 1940s combines artistry, tradition, and functionality. The rectangular wood block features exquisite intarsia inlays depicting mythological and naturalistic scenes — including a reclining nude, faun, swan, rabbit, and stylized flora — all rendered in contrasting wood tones with beautiful precision.
Five sculptural brass arms arch from the base to hold taper candles, making this piece a stunning centerpiece for seasonal celebrations, particularly as a Swedish Advent candleholder. The warm hues of the inlaid wood contrast beautifully with the patinated brass, creating a balanced and elegant silhouette.
Crafted in Sweden by Mjölby Intarsia, this piece embodies the playful yet refined spirit of Scandinavian Modern design.
