Skultuna Liljan Candlestick
Liljan is an elegant brass candlestick by Swedish brand Skultuna, designed by Ivar Ålenius Björk for the 1939 World's Fair in New York. With its distinctive lily-inspired shape, the candlestick has become a timeless design classic.
Ivar Ålenius Björk (1905–1978) was a Swedish sculptor, particularly known for his busts and public decorative works. He also designed a series of brass candlesticks for Ystad-Metall, which ceased production in 1969.
Liljan is among his most celebrated designs, combining sculptural elegance with functional design. Its beautiful brass finish and organic shape make it a decorative statement piece, whether displayed on its own or alongside other candlesticks.
Skultuna was founded in 1607 by King Charles IX of Sweden. Today, it is one of the world's oldest companies and remains a supplier to the Swedish Royal Family.
For over 400 years, Skultuna has been creating objects of exceptional quality, combining traditional craftsmanship with timeless design. With a dedication to quality and enduring aesthetics, Skultuna continues to create the antiques of tomorrow for future generations.
