This exceptional pair of mid-20th century bronze candlesticks, designed by renowned Swedish designer Gusum Mässing, marries military-inspired motifs with Scandinavian modernism. The candlesticks feature stems shaped like artillery shells, an homage to the industrial and martial heritage of Sweden, resting atop meticulously stacked bronze cannonballs. The rich patina of the bronze enhances their sculptural appeal, while their precision craftsmanship reflects Mässing’s dedication to blending functional design with artistic expression.

Gusum Mässing, a leading figure in mid-century Swedish design, was celebrated for his ability to reinterpret historical elements through the lens of modernist aesthetics. His work often drew from Sweden’s history of fine metalworking, showcasing a mastery of proportion, texture, and material. These candlesticks exemplify his innovative approach, combining bold forms with subtle sophistication.

Perfect for a collector or design enthusiast, this rare pair is not only a testament to Mässing’s ingenuity but also a striking statement piece for any interior.
