Pair Ålenius Björk Swedish Modernist Brass Lily Brass Candlestick Holders 40s$98.00
These are such an elegant pair of candlestick holders; simple, lithe, and are understated elegance embodied. They were originally designed by renowned Swedish sculptor Ivar Ålenius Björk for the New York World's Fair; I can only imagine the stir they caused when they were displayed! They are important enough that famed brass design company Skultana has started re-making them.
