About the Item
A striking example of Scandinavian folk art, this handcrafted candleholder is carved in solid birch and features a bold, symmetrical silhouette crowned with a five-pointed star. Made in Sweden during the 20th century, its design reflects traditional Nordic craftsmanship with a sculptural, almost architectural presence.
The two-arm form rests on a stepped base and is punctuated by three circular cut-outs along the central panel, adding graphic interest and balance. A beautiful patina enhances the natural warmth and grain of the birchwood, making this piece a charming seasonal accent or a year-round decorative statement.
