A Scandi Staple to Elevate Your Table

 

There is one small detail that you will find on almost every table, in almost every café and restaurant across Scandinavia. It’s something that instantly brings atmosphere, cosiness, hygge. That is, the candle. And even more specific, it’s the brass candle stick!

This classic design, similar to a chamberstick candle holder, is a favourite across Sweden. Bakeries and upscales restaurants alike use this design detail to dress every table.

Looking for a way to elevate your table? To add atmosphere to your dining room or kitchen? Invest in one of these timeless brass candle holders. You’ll find them from traditional Swedish brand Skultuna (founded 1607!), alternatively, there are many second-hand beauties, already rich with patina, available on your local auction websites. If you happen to be in Scandinavia, checking out their loppisar or flea markets, is a must!
