ABOUT PRODUCTID 38018
The Rosenthal '1001 Nights' candlestick, designed by Bjørn Wiinblad in 1974, is a vibrant example of postwar European design imbued with narrative flair. Crafted from high-quality porcelain, it features a cylindrical form with a subtly flared neck and a pronounced top rim. The deep, glossy navy blue dominates the piece, set against a saturated palette of pastel pink, mint green, light blue, and red, all enriched with elaborate gilded details on the figure’s attire and ornamental motifs. The smooth, glazed surface elegantly reflects light, while the gold geometric and foliate band on the rim adds a touch of luxury. The original Rosenthal Studio-Linie underglaze mark and the designer’s signature on the base confirm its authenticity as a collectible piece. The condition is excellent—display quality, with no signs of wear, damage, or loss of gilding.This candlestick expresses the spirit of the 1970s, a period when European modernism embraced a fascination with Oriental themes and fairy-tale narratives. Its form and color palette evoke the richness of the '1001 Nights' tales—a porcelain miniature poised between dream and reality, where every detail speaks to Wiinblad’s love of illustrative storytelling and decorative freedom. The gold accents and whimsical silhouette conjure an atmosphere of lightness and fantasy, as if the object itself were spinning a tale of vibrant worlds where functional art bridges everyday life and imagination.The candlestick can be paired with other Rosenthal Studio-Linie pieces or displayed solo on a light wood sideboard to highlight the depth of color and porcelain luster. It brings a note of eclectic elegance to interiors—well-suited to mid-century modern schemes as well as collector’s spaces with ethnic or Oriental touches. It could be combined with transparent glassware or matte
