Three bronze candle holders by Pentti Sarpaneva for Turun Hopea

Expertly crafted bronze candle holders designed by renowned Finnish artist Pentti Sarpaneva for the prestigious Turun Hopea workshop. This set of three showcases Sarpaneva's signature sculptural approach to metalwork, combining functional design with artistic expression. Each piece exhibits the distinctive patina and weight characteristic of fine Nordic bronze craftsmanship from the mid-century modernist period.

Pentti Sarpaneva (1925–1978) was a celebrated Finnish jewelry designer known for his bold, sculptural pieces that blend modernist aesthetics with organic textures. Working primarily in bronze and silver, often accented with glass or semi-precious stones, Sarpaneva created distinctive designs that stand out for their rich patinas and tactile surfaces.

He drew inspiration from nature, Finnish folklore, and traditional craft, yet his work was unmistakably contemporary. Produced by firms such as Turun Hopea, his creations from the 1960s and 1970s remain highly collectible, valued for their unique character, quality craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.
