About the Item
Vintage organic metal candlestick, candleholder, designed by Ivar Åhlenius Björk for Ystad Metall.

The Lily candle stick was produced by Ystad-Metall in Sweden.
Designed to fit a taper candlestick, it features a sculptural "Lily" shape in brass.
Mid-Century Modern brass candleholder by Ivar Alenius Bjork for Ystad Metal.
Made of solid brass. Made, labeled on the bottom, foundry stamped on bottom with creator name and logo: Ystad-Metall (Maker)
Dimensions: Height: 5 in Width: 8.5 in Diameter of base: 3.5 in.
Made in Sweden circa 1950 by Ivar Ålenius Björk (Designer)
In very good original condition it displays the vintage Danish minimalist charm adding visual appeal to any decor, shelf or desk or table.
The simple beautiful form inspired the name as it resembles the arched shape of lilies’ petals.
The 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.
