A solid brass candelabra by Swedish metalware manufacturer Metallslöjden Gusum, dating from 1981.
The substantial cast brass form has four sweeping arms and five candle fittings, arranged around a central stem. Five original loose brass wax-catching trays sit on the arms, held in place by the candles, and all are present. The body is marked to the underside “Metallslöjden Gusum, 1981, Bh Nr 489”
Metallslöjden Gusum was a Swedish metalworking manufacturer based in Gusum, Östergötland, a region with a long tradition of brass production dating back to the 17th century. The company became known for its sculptural brass domestic objects, particularly candlesticks and candelabra, and produced a distinctive range of numbered and dated designs during the 1970s and 1980s.
A handsome example of late-20th-century Swedish brassware, with a strong sculptural quality suited to architectural interiors. We have deliberately left the brass unpolished, preserving its beautiful, naturally developed patina.
A perfect finishing touch to a laid table, or confidently sitting on a sideboard.
