About the Item
Set of Three Scandinavian Modern “Pitsi” Copper Candlesticks by Pentti Sarpaneva for Turun Hopea, Finland, 1960s
A beautiful set of three Mid-Century Modern copper candlesticks from the “Pitsi” (Lace) series, designed by Pentti Sarpaneva for Turun Hopea, Finland, circa 1960s.
Each candlestick features Sarpaneva’s signature pitsi filigree pattern — a refined, lace-like openwork that gives the pieces both lightness and sculptural depth. The warm copper tone, combined with the intricate detailing, reflects the very best of Finnish modernist design from this era.
The set includes:
Two taller candlesticks: H 17 cm x D 9 cm (6.7 in x 3.5 in)
One shorter candlestick: H 10 cm x D 7 cm (3.9 in x 2.8 in)
These pieces work beautifully as a table centerpiece, on a sideboard, or displayed as sculptural decor. Their timeless design fits seamlessly in both modern interiors and eclectic vintage settings.
Designer
Pentti Sarpaneva (1925–1978) was one of Finland’s leading postwar designers, celebrated for his bold and organic approach to jewelry, metalwork, and glass. His designs often drew inspiration from Finnish folklore and natural textures, translated into modern forms. Sarpaneva’s work for Turun Hopea and Kalevala Koru is highly collectible and admired for its craftsmanship and distinctive style.
