This pig-shaped candleholder was crafted in Sweden during the 1960s, embodying the spirit of mid-century modern and the Scandinavian approach to form. Made from mahogany wood, it displays a warm, honey-brown tone with pronounced natural grain, accentuated by a glossy lacquered finish. The body is rounded and proportionate, featuring simplified details: short cylindrical legs, gently curved ears, a rounded snout with drilled nostrils, and tiny bead-like black eyes that contrast with the wood. The candleholder opening is seamlessly integrated on the back, while a coiled metal tail adds a playful accent. Every element is precisely fitted, with no visible glue or fasteners. The piece remains in excellent condition, free from damage or significant wear, retaining its original finish and components. Within this petite form resonates the cheerful voice of Scandinavian 1960s design: utility meets playfulness, and wood tells a story of domestic warmth and the lightness of everyday life. The pig’s rounded silhouette evokes childlike curiosity and respect for natural material, while the glossy wood reflects candlelight, creating a gentle, inviting glow. The spiral tail and minimalist eyes seem to wink—a small prop that humorously aligns with Nordic design traditions. This candleholder could be placed on a low sideboard, windowsill, or coffee table, where it subtly diffuses light and introduces an element of surprise. It would work well in interiors inspired by mid-century modern, among natural fabrics, ceramics, and minimalist accessories. It may be paired with other wooden objects or contrasting metals to emphasize its playful character—suitable for a living room or a cozy reading nook.
