Adventsljusstaken (The Advent candlestick) came to Sweden from Germany. Seven candles, one for each day of the week, were lit every Advent Sunday. In 1937, the first electric Advent candlesticks were manufactured by Philips in Göteborg (Gothenburg).
If you are of the Jewish tradition this doubles as a stylish traditional 7 candle temple menorah. The seven lamps allude to the branches of human knowledge, represented by the six lamps inclined inwards towards, and symbolically guided by, the light of God represented by the central lamp.
19 in to top of center bulb. 17.5 in. width.
Brand new bulbs included. Candles were painted white by me.

Brass shows some age. The candles were yellowed, so I removed them, primed, and painted white.
The vendor has confirmed this piece is in working order.
