Swedish Modern "Tree of Life" Iron & Brass Candelabras by Bertil Vallien, 1970s
About the Item
A rare pair of large candelabras designed by Bertil Vallien for one of the leading glass manufacturers in Sweden during the mid-20th century, Boda. The hammered, vegetal form of these substantial wrought iron candelabras are indicative of the influence of Swedish folklore and natural forms in Vallien's work. Pressed glass roundels hang beneath the base of each circular candle sconce, whilst hammered and incised leaves adorn the branches. The design was part of Vallien's 'Helicon' series, designed for Boda Smide (the metalworking department of Boda) during the early 1970s, and among collectors is referred to as the "Tree of Life". A hanging version of this design is also available.

Set of Decorative Stoneware "Owl" Candle Lamps made at Søholm, Denmark, 1960s
By Søholm Stentøj, Joseph Simon
Located in Odense, DK
Wonderful pair of hand made candle lamps by Joseph Simon made at Søholm Pottery in Denmark in the 1960s. The lamps are made from hand decorated glazed stoneware. They can be used standing or hung at the wall. Joseph Simon worked at Søholm for a short period in the late 1960s and is known for his whimsical animal figures.
