I recently found out that one of my candle holders is possibly Rude Osolnik Candlesticks. I thought they were from Denmark but Rude Osolnik was actually a well-known American wood turner since the 50′s.
Rude Osolnik created robust forms from a variety of woods in Kentucky. He is famous for being able to use figures in the wood he makes, creating a unique style that only Rude Osolnik can turn.
His sleek lined neck candles are very iconic but he also created beautiful wood pieces. I’m very happy to discover that I own one of his pieces! Available on ebay!
