The Lily candlestick (“Liljan” in Swedish) was designed by the Swedish sculptor Ivar Ålenius-Björk for the world fair in New York in 1939. These candlesticks are common on dining tables and side tables throughout Sweden, but the design is an immediately recognizable classic worldwide. Its simple, beautiful form inspired the name as it resembles the arched shape of lilies’ petals. These sculptural Lilies, made of polished brass, attract attention and function immediately as marvellous conversation pieces. The design is inherently simple, consisting of two “petals” that open up to the sides. The curving lines are visually and also literally grounded by the circular brass base that shows off the symmetry as well. The dynamic, flowing lines of the brass are quite sculptural which is why the model is placed on tables as a decor object or paperweight even without candles. Interestingly, the design was originally a soliflore (a vase designed to hold a single flower) with a glass tube slipped into the heart of the 2 petals, forming a water reserve to accommodate a flower. This pair is monogrammed "IÅB" and stamped "Ystad Metall Sweden" on the bottom. Ystad Metall produced numerous classic design items between the 1920s and 60s. These Liljan candlesticks...
