Mid-Century Atomic Style Black Metal & Copper Candle Holders (Pair)

A beautifully sculptural pair of mid-century Scandinavian-style candle holders, combining softly curved black metal arms with warm copper candle cups and drip trays.

Dating to the 1960s–70s, these pieces capture the quiet elegance of Nordic modern design - minimal yet expressive. The arched, almost swan-like form gives them movement even when unlit, while the copper introduces warmth and glow once candles are placed.

Designed to sit low across a dining table or sideboard, they create a gentle line of candlelight rather than height - a very intentional design feature of the period. They work just as well styled individually on shelves as they do as a centrepiece.

An especially versatile styling piece for modern interiors, wabi-sabi spaces, or mid-century homes.

Lovely original patina to the copper and metal consistent with age.
