(2) WALTER ANDERSSON YSTAD METALL MACHINE AGE ART DECO BRASS SCONCE CANDLESTICKS:
$110.00

HERE’S A RARE PAIR OF ORIGINAL VINTAGE 1930S OR 1940S MACHINE AGE / ART DECO BRASS WALL SCONCE-CANDLEHOLDERS DESIGNED BY WALTER ANDERSSON FOR YSTAD METALL OF SWEDEN!

Measuring approximately fourteen and a half inches (14 1/2”) in height, three and seven eighths inches (3 7/8”) in width at its widest point, and four and a quarter inches (4 ¼”) in depth, these original vintage modernist 1930s or 1940s wall sconce-candleholders are shaped like the flame of a candle with a smaller secondary flame extending from the bottom outward to hold the candle-bobeche. This smaller secondary brass flame is attached to the larger flame by a small round brass ball, all of which is held together by two small brass screws that can be seen from the backside.

Made from a heavy-gauge brass, Walter Andersson designed this wall sconce-candleholder to be both sculptural and functional, having created a simple and pure design that is at the same time visually striking.

Both sconce-candleholders are marked with Walter Andersson’s joined initials “WA” along with “Ystad Metall Made In Sweden”

Please Note: It appears as though these wall sconce-candleholders have a thick original clear lacquer finish. To this end, the condition is generally very good and clean with some small markings, minor scuffs and small surface scratches, and tarnish spots. Any and all issues are related to the lacquer finish, which can be removed and then the sconce-candleholders can be highly polished.

Also, Please Note: Both sconce-candleholders still retain their original price labels.

YSTAD METALL BIO

Ystad Metall was a company located in Ystad, Sweden, that employed many important designers during the 1920s through the 1960s. Perhaps the most prolific Ystad Metall designer was Ivar Alenius-Bjork, whose more significant designs were created during the 1930s. Several of Alenius-Bjork’s designs for Ystad Metall can be seen in the book “Swedish Arts And Crafts: Swedish Modern – A Movement Towards Sanity In Design.” This book was published in conjunction with the 1939 New York World’s Fair where Ystad Metall displayed a wide selection of their modern brass and pewter objects.

Other Ystad designers included Gunnar Ander (Anderson), Oscar Antonsson, Hans Bergström, Carl-Einar Borgstrom, Ulla Fogelklou-Skogh, Hugo Gehlin, Erik Mattson, Wiwen Nilsson, Anna Thulin, Idoff Göransson, Gote Bergsten, Walter Andersson, and Erik Hoglund.
