A Dansk candle holder, a timeless pair designed by Jens Quistgaard in the 1960s for Dansk Designs Denmark. Made of iron with brass details.
These mid-century modern Dansk candle holders were first produced in 1962 and remain an iconic part of Danish design. Designed by the renowned Jens Quistgaard, these pieces are crafted from iron with a brass-lined interior and are stamped by the maker on the inside of the candleholder. They are designed to fit small taper candles, making them perfect for an elegant and minimal tabletop or shelf display.
These pieces also pair well with items from our vintage studio art pottery and Wabi-Sabi kitchen accents.
The series is called “Taarn”, which is Danish for “half-shell.” This design exemplifies Quistgaard’s ability to blend functionality with sculptural beauty, making these candle holders a standout piece in any collection.
Each pair is sold separately, allowing for individual styling or grouping for a more dramatic effect. Their sturdy craftsmanship and timeless appeal make a Dansk candle holder a wonderful addition to any vintage or modern decor. Ideal for an entryway, dining table, or bookshelf, these candle holders effortlessly bring warmth and sophistication to any setting.
These Dansk Designs candle holders showcase the perfect blend of function and design. The iron and brass combination adds warmth and sophistication to any interior, making them a must-have for mid-century modern collectors and Scandinavian design enthusiasts alike.
