Deens Fabrikaat - Candleholder (2) - Silverplated

Vintage Danish Candlesticks – Silver-plated – Mid-Century Modern – Pair – approx. 1960–1975

This elegant pair of silver-plated candlesticks is a beautiful example of Scandinavian design from the 1960s and 1970s. The sleek cylindrical form and minimalist appearance are characteristic of Danish modernism, where functionality and aesthetics are perfectly balanced.

The candlesticks are made of silver-plated metal and rest on an original green felt underside, which not only protects the furniture but also points to quality production from this period. The finish is well-executed, with a nice shine and solid appearance.

Thanks to their timeless design, these candlesticks fit effortlessly into modern, Scandinavian, mid-century, and classic interiors. They are decorative without candles and especially atmospheric in use.

This type of candlesticks was produced in Denmark mainly for design shops and department stores and is known for its durability and high-quality finish.

This set of elegant and architecturally designed Scandinavian design candlesticks is crafted in silver-plated metal and manufactured as a single piece (monoblock). These objects are a pure and powerful example of Scandinavian modernism from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, a period in which purity of form, functionality, and refined proportions were central.

They have a balanced, sculptural silhouette: a broad, low cylindrical foot that provides stability and visual calm, a conically tapering middle section with a subtly ribbed zone as the only decorative accent, and an elegantly flaring, dish-shaped top that houses the candle. The design is completely free of superfluous ornamentation and derives its strength from pure geometry and material mastery.

What is special about these pieces is the monoblock construction. The candlesticks are technically formed from a single unit and not assembled from separate components. This points to a higher production quality than conventional silver-plated mass-produced pieces and aligns with the experimental, monolithic designs that are characteristic of Scandinavian design productions from this period.
