Candle holders
Few objects capture the Nordic idea of hygge as well as a candle holder. This collection brings together vintage Scandinavian candle holders from Denmark, Sweden and the rest of the Nordic region – pieces made in the decades when Scandinavian design reshaped everyday objects with clean lines, honest materials and careful craftsmanship.
You will find brass candlesticks for slim taper candles, multi-arm candelabra that work as a table centerpiece, and small tealight holders in glass or ceramic. Most pieces date from the 1950s to the 1970s, the era of mid-century modern design, and many still carry the natural patina of their age.
Brass, cast iron, teak, stoneware and mouth-blown glass each create a different mood, from warm and golden to minimal and graphic. A single candlestick holds its own on a shelf, while a group of mismatched holders in one material gives a sideboard or dining table a quietly collected look.
Every candle holder here is an original vintage piece, not a reproduction. Each listing states the country of origin, the designer or manufacturer where known, and an honest description of condition, so you know exactly what you are buying.
