Polished Brass Candelabra by Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall, Sweden 1960s

Elegant polished brass candelabra for three candles designed by Gunnar Ander for Ystad-Metall in Swedish modernist style from the 1960s. This candelabra is in good vintage condition, with slight age-related wear of the brass on the feet.

Gunnar Ander (1908–1976) was a Swedish architect and designer best known for his refined and often colourful contributions to modernist lighting and decorative arts during the mid-20th century. A versatile designer, Ander worked across multiple disciplines, including architecture, furniture, glass, and lighting, and became particularly well known for his work with the Swedish lighting company Ystad-Metall.

Ander’s long association with Ystad-Metall lasted until the company ceased operations in the 1970s. His legacy lies in the distinctive body of work he produced during Sweden’s golden era of design—pieces that are still sought after by collectors and design historians for their quality, creativity, and enduring Scandinavian character.
