Description from the seller
Sculptural glass tealight holder – Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig – Danish studio glass (c. 1990–2000)
This particularly expressive glass candlestick is an authentic example of Danish studio glass, designed and crafted by Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig. The object combines functionality with autonomous glass art, making it both a functional item and a sculptural artwork.
The organic, flowing shape evokes a natural landscape: like a basin carved by water, where layers of glass flows have settled. Deep cobalt blue and intense green seamlessly blend, enriched with subtle iridescent reflections that vividly catch the light. From every angle, the object appears different, making it a dynamic and intriguing piece.
Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig belongs to the generation of Danish glass artists who, from the 1980s onward, approached studio glass as a free art medium. His work is known for:
• Organic, hand-shaped sculptures
rich color combinations
visible glass movement and depth
Unique pieces, never serially produced.
This candelabrum is equipped with the original metal signature plaque 'Ahlefeldt Laurvig,' a feature that authentically identifies his studio pieces.
