Each winter season as the days get much shorter, I unabashedly enjoy the dark, hanging a lit paper star in the window, keeping candle lights lit from the time I have my very first sips of coffee to when I enter into bed (early) in the evening. This year, I’m appreciating a renowned Swedish candle light sconce– and a strangely enough comparable variation for half the cost. Have a look:
High
Above: Swedish co. Skultuna was established in 1607 by King Karl IX, and it stays, some 415 years later on, “purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden.” Amongst their renowned styles is the Pendel Sconce Candle Light Holder: “The well-known silversmith Pierre Forssell worked as an internal designer at Skultuna in between 1955 and 1986,” the business composes on their website. “Forssell created this slim sconce, Pendel, which has actually ended up being a renowned Skultuna item, in the later part of the 1950s.” It’s made from refined brass that includes an additional radiance on dark winter season days; $95 from Skultuna.
Low
Above: Comparable in spirit and shape is the Vela Aged Brass Wall Sconce Candle Light Holder from CB2, produced by previous designer Brett Beldock. Made from strong aged brass that will age in time, the sconce can be utilized with either a taper candle light or a votive; $49.95 from CB2.
