The shape follows the long vertical outline of a traditional Nordic distaff, with a narrow lower stem, softly baroque curves and a small candle cup projecting from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"621\"\u003eThe decoration is especially vivid: moss green ground, dark brown edging, ochre yellow flowers, warm red rosettes and lighter leaf green details. The colours give the pair a strong folk character, while the elongated form keeps the look elegant and architectural on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"646\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"646\"\u003eForm and Decoration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"924\"\u003eEach candleholder is carved from wood and painted by hand. The front is decorated with raised circular floral motifs, black line accents and small geometric details near the candle cup. The slightly irregular carving and painted surface show the handmade nature of the pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"1155\"\u003eThe design belongs to a 20th century revival of older Nordic folk forms, with clear references to 19th century Swedish and Finnish rural interiors. The form appears to be based on a traditional distaff, or possibly made from one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003eUse and Interior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1329\"\u003eThese candleholders are made for wall mounting, with hanging fittings on the back.

Their narrow vertical shape makes them useful beside a mirror, above a small cabinet, or as a pair around a textile or framed artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1623\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1623\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003eHeight: 38 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1685\"\u003eCandle cup inner diameter: approximately 2 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1881\"\u003eExcellent vintage condition with light signs of age and use.
