This is a beautiful single (one-arm) Swedish silver candlestick (often referred to as a candelabrum when in ornate styles like this) made in 1945 by Guldsmedsaktiebolaget (GAB), one of Sweden's most prominent 20th-century silver manufacturers based in Stockholm. Description Style: It draws inspiration from Rococo Revival (or Louis XV influences), popular in mid-20th-century Scandinavian silver. The design features elaborate scrolling acanthus leaves, asymmetrical floral and vine motifs, C- and S-scrolls, and shell-like elements. The stem has a baluster form with bulbous knops, transitioning to a flared, scalloped drip pan (bobèche) with petal-like edges adorned with applied floral details. Base: Triangular or tri-lobed with curved, scrolling feet terminating in small ball supports, providing stability while echoing the fluid Rococo lines. Finish and Condition: Polished silver with a warm patina from age and use. It shows typical light surface scratches and minor tarnish in crevices, but retains crisp detailing—no major dents or repairs visible. The interior socket has some wax residue buildup, common for a piece of this age. Material and Purity: Swedish 830/1000 silver (standard for much GAB production), confirmed by the hallmarks including the three crowns in a heart-shaped or trefoil outline. Dimensions - Height Overall Aesthetic: Graceful and ornate, blending historical revival with mid-century Swedish craftsmanship. GAB often produced pieces like this in the 1940s, reflecting a return to decorative traditions post-WWII austerity. This candlestick would make a striking tabletop accent, . GAB items from this era are well-regarded for quality and are collectible, especially dated examples like 1945 (Swedish date letter "T8" )
