    Picked these up Saturday - the Dansk one is iron, and the Swedish pair are solid brass. I've been wanting a Danish spider one since I started collecting.

      I am also on the hunt for a spider in the wild. Great find!

      Thanks for the reply. It was really a good weekend for rummaging. I also found matched shades for the two DM lamps you commented on.

      At first I thought the brass ones were Dansk too! The problem I've found with the spiders is where do you get the candles to fit? A dozen needed at a time!

      Scandinavian import stores have them. I'm in Minnesota, which makes finding them a bit easier.

      "Tiny Taper Holder" by Dansk, Jens Quistgaard, c. 1960.

      My favourites are the ones by Robert Welsh.

      What I like best about it is that it has a dab of gloss paint on the bottom contact points, so it doesn't scratch when you set it down. Clever Danes.
      Nice gallery...looks like I'll be raiding more Lutheran rummage sales for the others.

      Must redouble my efforts to find this bad boy!

      V you crack me up. I find our friendship thrilling. You have such an amazing mind and wicked sense of humor. I look forward to the day we meet face to face.
