This five-armed candlestick in the New Look style was made in Sweden during the 1950s–60s, crafted from silver-plated brass. The design is anchored by a wide, flat base (diameter 13 cm) for stability, while five symmetrically arranged arms—each ending in a candle holder for slender candles—radiate from a central axis topped with a spherical finial. The entire piece is finished in a cool, silvery metallic tone with a high-gloss, mirror-like surface. Its form reflects the clarity of mid-century modern aesthetics: there are no visible screws or welds, and the precise construction highlights the craftsmanship of the era. Subtle traces of patina on the candle holders hint at its age, but all components remain original and authentic. The candlestick is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or signs of repair.This object speaks to the narrative of postwar Scandinavia, a time when modernity and restrained ornamentation converged in everyday objects. Its polished surface reflects light like the surface of a calm lake, while the slender, sweeping arms form a rhythmic, geometric dance—echoing the language of the 1960s: “Here, light, proportion, and harmony matter.” The central sphere acts as a visual anchor, suggesting the order and balance so emblematic of Scandinavian modernism.The candlestick could be placed atop a low sideboard of light wood, serving as a focal point in a living room influenced by mid-century modern sensibilities. It would also function well as a centrepiece on a classic dining table during evening gatherings—paired with simple glass vases or minimalist ceramics. The piece fits into both eclectic
