AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful and highly collectible pair of modernist candlesticks, attributed to the famous Swedish designer Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall in the 1960s.
This set consists of two different sizes, which creates a striking architectural dynamic when placed together.
The pieces are expertly crafted from black forged iron ("smide") with a twisted stem and iconic tripod bases.
They are beautifully adorned with vivid emerald-green glass medallions that brilliantly catch the light.
The glass was produced by the renowned Swedish glass factory Lindshammar.
Characteristic of this particular wrought-iron series from Ystad-Metall, these pieces carry no physical stamp. They were originally marked only with paper/foil labels that have worn away over the decades.
The design and craftsmanship are 100% attributable to Gunnar Ander and his well-documented design classics.
Dimensions (approximately):
• Large candlestick: 54 cm tall
• Small candlestick: 24 cm tall
Condition:
In good vintage condition with light signs of aging and wear commensurate with age. The wrought iron has a beautiful patina. The green glass elements are intact and free from major damage. Please study the photos carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
