Chunky Vintage Brass Reversible Candle Holder - Sweden, 1980

A solid brass candle holder with a clever two-way design, made in Landskrona, Sweden, in 1980. Its rounded, weighty form feels both modernist and timeless, while the reversible shape lets you use it in two positions - compact and grounded, or taller and more elevated. The surface shows a warm patina that only brass can develop, adding depth and character.

Manufactured and stamped by Landskrona Mässing, this piece reflects the Scandinavian love for simple, functional forms in natural materials. Brass was especially popular in this period, bringing a sense of permanence and quiet luxury into everyday objects. Landskrona’s candlesticks are well regarded for their minimal design and practical versatility, making them equally at home on a dining table or a bookshelf.

This is one of those objects that adds weight - literally and visually - to a room. A perfect accent on its own, or part of a mix of candle holders for a glowing, eclectic display.
