An extraordinarily rare find; the pair of large and impressive chandeliers are special commissions for Örenäs Castle in Skåne, Sweden. The Castle was one of the last works by architect Fredrik Sundbärg (1860-1913), completed in 1918 and subsequently renovated in the 1930s to accommodate early modern lighting and furniture of the period, including pieces designed by the architect Carl-Axel Acking (1910-2001). These two chandeliers, along with a now lost third, originally graced the ceiling of the castle’s main dining hall.eted in 1918 and subsequently renovated in the 1930s to accommodate early modern lighting and furniture of the period, including pieces designed by the architect Carl-Axel Acking (1910-2001).
