Description from the seller
Advent candle holder with colored glass – Harry N. Boström, Bo Svensk Järnsmide – Sweden – ca. 1960–1980
Unique and rare Swedish Advent candle holder designed and crafted by Harry N. Boström for Bo Svensk Järnsmide in Borlänge. This handcrafted model combines black wrought iron, an elegant solid wood base, and four large colored glass stones in warm yellow, green, clear blue, and deep red. An iconic combination of materials that is typical of Boström's expressive yet minimalist style.
The four candlestick holders are slim, sculptural, and positioned above the round glass stones, which serve as striking color accents. When lit by candlelight, the glass comes beautifully to life – a true atmosphere creator during the Advent season, but also a striking art object that holds strong decorative value throughout the year.
The pieces by Bo Svensk Järnsmide are becoming increasingly scarce and are loved by collectors of Scandinavian mid-century design, especially in this colorful edition.
A striking and atmospheric Scandinavian design object that is both functional and decorative. An absolute eye-catcher in any interior and a valuable collector's item within the world of Swedish wrought iron.
In beautiful vintage condition with light signs of use, appropriate for its age. The glass medallions are clear and undamaged. The teak wood base is in excellent condition.
Dimensions: approx. L 29 cm x H 17 cm x D 5.5 cm
Weight: 605 grams
This object comes from Sweden, from an antique shop of a collector, and is unsigned and signed all over. It will be safely packed with smart shipping, sent registered, and insured.
Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
