Pair of Modernist sterling silver candleholders by Reijo Sirkeoja
Finland
1969
Sterling silver
4 1/2″ high x 1 1/2″ diameter
Master silversmith Reijo Sirkeoja made some of the most original silver designs in post-war Finland, combining unusual modern aesthetics with the sophisticated techniques of traditional silversmithing. With its sleek geometric forms and splendid hand-hammered surfaces, this pair of silver candleholders, likely one-of-a-kind, is a very fine example of his work.
