Brass “Lily” Candleholder · Illums BolighusDenmark, 1960s
A sculptural brass candleholder with three trumpet-shaped stems rising from a softly bent triangular base — a small piece of Danish elegance that feels as fluid as a line drawn in the air. Sold through Illums Bolighus in the 1960s, it carries the quiet refinement of the era: light, organic, effortlessly modern.
The brass has aged into a warm, mellow tone that adds depth and soul rather than shine. Place it on a dining table or windowsill and it becomes a gentle focal point — a little constellation of light when the candles are lit, a minimalist sculpture when they’re not.
A beautiful example of the Danish tradition of combining craft and simplicity.
