Chandelier with 7 branches by Gunnar Ander, Ystad-Metall

Rare and iconic seven-branch candelabrum in Mid-Century Modern style, designed by the famous designer Gunnar Ander for the historic Swedish manufacturer Ystad-Metall in the 1950s/1960s. A highly graphic and sculptural piece of Scandinavian design, characterised by a structure in matte black lacquered metal, beautifully contrasted by the solid bronze/copper edges of the candle holders. A perfect decorative element for high-end Mid-Century Modern, minimalist, or Nordic-inspired interiors.
