Erik Hoglund studied art and design in Sweden in the early 50's and through the next 3 decades is said to have revolutionized the art of Swedish glass.

When I first picked up the well taped bundle of iron at the Goodwill I thought maybe this was one of those metal puzzles and tried to connect the hanging chain to the glass holders in some rational way ... NO! When I spotted the 'Sweden' imprint I heard the little voice say 'Buy It' thinking this must be #midcentury and not just old iron chains.

For $4.98 I was on a google adventure that took a week to determine I had found an early #ErikHoglund iron candelabra ... Still keeping my eyes open for the original glass, for the time being it will hang in the alcove by the fireplace.

Letting Go

...As we walked through the house we decided to sell or donate everything from the past and start from scratch, a clean break, maybe this would encourage our lifestyle change. The furniture and design artifacts that we had acquired were never placed in the new house - we just took them out of the packing boxes to photograph for Craigslist, EBay, etc. or took them over to Goodwill.

Pictures, Art, Glassware, Furniture, Lighting that all spoke to the perfection of the 19th Century drawing rooms and parlours had to go ...
