I have two of these listed - they are identical - so if you wish to have a pair - select the amount in the quantity box.
I am selling these as SINGLE ITEMS.
Here, we have a very stylish heavy glass candlestick. It was designed in the 1990s by the Finnish glass maestro, Timo Sarpaneva (1926 - 2006).
The design is called Janus. It features two twisting long length air bubbles in the centre, they are contorted and are entwined in opposite directions - hence the name Janus.
Janus was a Roman god - who kept the gate of Heaven. He was the god of beginnings and ends - and is often depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. The Romans named the month of January (Ianuarius) in his honor. In January we look back on the last year and forward to the next.
My candlesticks are from a small limited edition of 500 pieces. One is issue No. 129 and the other is 119. Both are signed Timo Sarpaneva Iittala / 1993.
The candlestick measures just under 8 inches (20 cm in height) and have a diameter of 2 3/4 inches. They are certainly beasts - and each one weighs around 2 kg in weight.
Both candlesticks or candle holders are in good vintage condition - there are a few wee scratches on the base - these are commensurate with age and the weight when you pick them up and put down on a hard surface over the years. The little friction scratches on the base are only mentioned for accuracy and are now even visible when the candlestick is on display. There are no inclusions in the glass - any white marks on them in my photographs are just reflections.
I have priced these at £175 for EACH CANDLESTICK. This is a fair price - as they are now rather hard to find, especially in the UK.
Each weight will be sent with Parcelforce24. We will cap the postage - or refund postage over payments on your order - at just over £10. This will be applied at the checkout.
