It is made out of one solid piece of wood with intricate and organic shapes, with the possibility of holding two candle lights. Made by Swedish artist Gunnar Kanevad who worked at Gamla Linkoping, an open-air museum where Mr. Kanevad had an artisan workshop. He developed a unique form of artistry, mainly working with wood and at times with metal, which he formed into intricate and beautiful timeless shapes. This piece is constructed of pine, with a really nice color and stamped Kanevad. It is in a really good condition.

Measurements: 22.5cm high, 25cm wide and 7cm deep. (8.85'x9.84'x2.75') The wood is slightly uneven in some parts, yet overall, with a very smooth finish and it has been given a protective cote of linseed oil in order for it to last a very very long time.
