This ash wood candle holder for four slim candles was crafted in Germany in the 1970s, merging Scandinavian-inspired modernism with enduring craftsmanship. The elongated rectangular body stands on four conical, gently splayed legs, giving it a lightweight, airy appearance. The warm, honey-toned ash highlights the expressive wood grain and offers a smooth, satin-matte finish. On the upper surface, four shallow round dishes with integrated, gold-toned metal (likely brass) inserts serve as holders, protecting the wood from heat while adding a subtle decorative accent. All joints are discreet, with no visible screws or fittings, reflecting a high level of workmanship and attention to detail. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with only minimal, period-consistent signs of use typical for an original vintage object.
In its restrained form, one can sense the voice of 1970s design, where clarity of function meets the honesty of materials. The candle holder seems to echo the German and northern European sensibility to light—simply ignite four candles and the warm brown ash and matte gold inserts set the tone for an unhurried afternoon. Its minimalist silhouette gently invites calm, with a finish that speaks of the era’s value placed on understated daily rituals.
This candle holder can be placed on a low mid-century credenza or among contemporary simple objects like glass vases or steel bowls. It pairs well with interiors in mid-century modern or Scandinavian-inspired aesthetics. It’s worth setting it against a light tablecloth, dark wood, or stone countertop, to showcase its slim proportions and highlight the dialogue between the warmth of ash and the metallic sheen of the inserts.
