By repute this pair of candelabra were exhibited in the Danish section at the Paris 1925 Exposition.
Just Andersen was a designer and craftsman for Georg Jensen until 1918 when he left to open his own studio. These candelabra are exquisite and remarkable examples of Danish Art Deco design and a testament to the artist’s consummate craftsmanship. Andersen’s bronzes are characterized by rich, deep patination and superlative casting quality and surfaces.
