Pair of White Metal “Spiral” Candle Holders by Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall, Sweden, 1960s

Elegant five-arm candle holders are designed by Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall, Sweden, and date to the late 1950s–1960s. Crafted in white metal with slender candle stems, small drip trays and spiral-shaped bases with flowing form create a dynamic, sculptural expression while maintaining lightness and balance. It is a refined example of Scandinavian mid-century design.

Attribution note: this model is sometimes attributed to Harry N. Boström for Bo Svensk, but based on construction, proportions, and close comparisons with documented examples, it is most convincingly linked to Gunnar Ander and Ystad-Metall.

The pair is in good vintage condition showing signs of wear and use consistent with their age. The candelabras take small tapered candles with a maximum width of about 12 mm.
