Edvin Ollers for Schreuder & Olsson, Sweden 1955. Vintage Mid-century Pewter Candlesticks

This elegant pair of mid-century pewter candlesticks, designed by Edvin Ollers for Schreuder & Olsson, exemplifies Swedish modernist design from the year 1955. Crafted with precision and restraint, the candlesticks feature a sculptural, tiered silhouette made of softly brushed pewter, an alloy highly favored in Scandinavian decorative arts for its matte sheen and understated character.

The design displays balanced symmetry and subtle detailing, with rounded geometric forms echoing neoclassical motifs, reinterpreted through a modernist lens. The flared candle holders sit atop graduated disc-shaped bases, creating a sense of architectural poise. Despite their solid material, the candlesticks convey a light, almost floating aesthetic due to their well-proportioned form.

Ollers, a noted Swedish artist and designer active in the early to mid-20th century, was known for blending functionality with sculptural elegance. This pair—produced by Schreuder & Olsson, a respected Swedish metalware firm, represents the refined utility and craftsmanship that defined Scandinavian design in the postwar era.
