Art Deco Four-Arm Silver-Plated Candleholders by Just Andersen for Gab, 1930, Set of 2

A beautifully balanced pair of four-arm silver-plated candelabra designed by Danish sculptor and designer Just Andersen for GAB (Guldsmedsaktiebolaget), Sweden, circa 1930s. These striking pieces exemplify Andersen’s signature fusion of streamlined Art Deco elegance and Scandinavian restraint. Each candelabrum features gracefully arched arms radiating from a faceted hexagonal base, creating a sculptural yet highly functional form. The design is elevated by a central sphere of amber-toned Bakelite, introducing a subtle warmth and material contrast against the cool sheen of the silver plate. The refined curvature and symmetry give the pair a strong architectural presence, making them ideal for both decorative display and formal table settings. A testament to Andersen’s collaboration with GAB—one of Sweden’s most respected silversmiths—these candelabra reflect some of the finest metalwork of the period.
