Your dream dinner table just found its glow
Jens Quistgaard had a gift for turning the everyday into art. Best known for shaping Dansk’s modern identity, he designed objects that merged Scandinavian restraint with sensual materiality. These vintage solid brass candleholders from the 1960s are no exception: sculptural yet functional, polished yet organic, they bring warmth without trying too hard. Quistgaard’s design philosophy was simple: beauty should live in the daily ritual. These candleholders prove him right.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
