Mom gave me this Scandinavian-style candelabra last year. It had been in her collection for a while and she decided to pass it along to me. I quite like it as it reminds me of my Swedish heritage on Mom's side of the family. Sadly, we don't know too much about that part of the family tree other than that Mom's grandmother was born in Sweden in 1890, came to the U.S. with her family in 1891, and died in Minnesota in the 1918 influenza epidemic.
