Story
In the long, dark winters of Scandinavia, light was more than a utility; it was a symbol of life and warmth.
Maker / Origin
While often unsigned, these pieces are products of the Swedish 'Hemslöjd' (handicraft) tradition.
Condition & Value
The pair shows a lovely, authentic aged patina with minor surface oxidation and typical wax residue in the cups. Value is driven by the fact that they are a matching pair in a popular folk-art style.
