Pair of Tapio Wirkkala Silver Candlesticks 1950s

About the Item

TAPIO WIRKKALA - SCANDINAVIAN MODERN A beautiful pair of silver candlesticks, model no. 89, were designed in 1957 by the famous Finnish multi designer Tapio Wirkkala. Artist signature and silver stamps. Each incised with "TW" and impressed with various hallmarks. Tapio Wirkkala (1915-1985) was a multitalented design genius, widely considered a leading figure of modern Finnish Industrial art. Wirkkala's wide ranging portfolio spans from glass, furniture and product design to sculpture, city planning, art, graphics and even creating banknotes for the Finnish treasury. As his reputation grew internationally, Wirkkala exhibited throughout the world but he was a recluse by nature. His favourite place was a spot so remote within the deep woodlands of middle Finland that helicopters delivered prototypes to his hut since no car could reach him.
