Ahrnebergs worked in Insjön, Leksand, in the heart of Dalarna, making candlesticks, bowls and spoons in wood, as well as wrought iron candle holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach shield-shaped backplate was carved entirely by hand. Fluted gouge cuts fan out across the top like a crest, long leaf-like lines curve down both sides, and the surface is worked in gentle waves that catch the candlelight. The faceted candle cup at the base is carved from a single block, every facet cut by hand. The warm, shaded finish deepens towards the edges, giving each piece a rich, three-dimensional look. This is hours of skilled handwork from a Dalarna craft tradition – no two pieces are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHang them on either side of a mirror, a window or a fireplace for a warm Scandinavian, cabin or rustic interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaker: Ahrneberg (Ahrnebergs), Insjön, Leksand, Dalarna, Sweden\u003cbr\u003eMarked: Ahrneberg workshop stamp with axe emblem on the back, plus carver’s stamped initials\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Mid-20th century\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Hand-carved wood with shaded finish\u003cbr\u003eSold as: Pair (2 wall candle holders)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition: Vintage condition.
