19th Century Swedish Folk Art Adjustable Wooden Candlestick

About the Item

This 19th-century Swedish allmoge candlestick represents a long-standing Nordic tradition of functional, handcrafted objects for everyday use. Made from locally sourced wood and mounted on a heavy stone base for stability, this type of candlestick was a common feature in rural Swedish homes, where adjustable lighting was both practical and necessary during the long winters. The height-adjustable mechanism, a hallmark of Scandinavian ingenuity, allowed users to extend the candle as it burned down, maximizing its use. The simplicity of the form, combined with the visible hand-carved details, reflects the aesthetic values of Swedish folk craftsmanship—where utility and design merge seamlessly. These types of wooden candlesticks were often crafted by local artisans or even by the farmers themselves, using available materials and simple tools. This particular example has developed a rich patina over time, enhancing its character and authenticity. The candle holders height can be adjusted between 77 cm to 110 cm
