Just Andersen Figural Two-Arm Candelabra in Disko Metal

A sculptural and highly collectible Just Andersen two-arm candelabra, cast in the designer’s proprietary alloy known as Disko.

Designed in Denmark in the early 20th century, this piece reflects Andersen’s distinct ability to merge sculpture with functional design. The central figure—stylized, poised, and architectural—supports two elegantly curved candle arms, forming a balanced and harmonious silhouette.

Disko, Andersen’s signature alloy, was developed as a refined alternative to traditional pewter. With its deep, moody patina and softly luminous surface, it gives the piece a weight and presence that feels both modernist and mythic.

The figural form, subtly referencing classical and Nordic influences, demonstrates Andersen’s sculptural training and his commitment to elevating everyday objects into works of art.

An exceptional example of Scandinavian Art Deco and Danish modern metalwork.

Just Andersen was a Danish metalworker and sculptor born in Greenland and trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Danish Crafts.

After working with leading names such as Georg Jensen, Andersen founded his own workshop in 1918. He became known for refined designs in pewter, bronze, copper, and his proprietary alloy Disko—bringing sculptural elegance to functional objects.

His works remain highly sought after among collectors of Danish modern and early Scandinavian design.

Negligible split in base that does not affect the stability or integrity of the piece.
