A set of two pewter candleholders from Arne Haugrud AS. These candle holders will hold multiple widths of candles from tea lights to taper.
Pewter – or tin – dates back to the Roman times in Scandinavia. Very typical Norwegian, you’ll find pewter in most homes there. Read about Norwegian pewter here. And of course, there can’t be many countries that burn more candles than Norway does! Candles are “koselig“…
The Haugrud company dates back to the 1940’s and is located in Tønsberg that is on the Oslo Fjord a couple of hours drive south of Oslo. Tønsberg is generally considered the oldest city in Norway established in AD 871. The 13th century King Håkon Håkonsson built his castle, Tønsberghus, there.
The tallest candleholder istands 5.5″ tall and is 3.5″ wide in the base. The smaller candleholder is 4.25″ tall. The bottoms are covered in felt to protect your table. The set weighs 1lb 2oz. The insides are stamped with “Pewter Haugrud Norway 332”.
These candleholders would look great in a midcentury environment or even a shabby-chic decor.
Probably over 75 years old, the candleholders show some bending around the top rings – please see photos – but there are no major dents or scratches.
