Standing just over three feet tall, six candleholders rise from sweeping iron arms, each finished with a petal-like cup and a small hammered sphere suspended beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details are especially good up close. Hammer marks remain visible across the iron, from the faceted spheres to the gently irregular edges of the arms and base. A larger hammered sphere rises through the center, while four shaped feet give the tall, narrow form a strong footing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBertil Vallien studied at Konstfack in Stockholm under Stig Lindberg, graduating in 1961 before spending time in the United States. He joined Kosta Boda in 1963 and has worked across ceramics, industrial design, and glass, eventually becoming one of Sweden’s most recognized glass artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis work is particularly associated with an interest in material and process, something that feels especially evident in the hand-worked surfaces of this early wrought iron piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52815778709815,"sku":null,"price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/0ViMIe4gOb5gP_rvm2-m3ZbUuetQVvaWM5fxM9_kjo8.jpg?v=1786739902","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/swedish-wrought-iron-floor-candelabra-attributed-to-bertil-vallien-for-kosta-boda-1960s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
