The Skeppsholmen paraffin lamp from the Swedish brand Karlskrona Lampfabrik is a ’big sister’ to the popular Koholmen lamp. The Skeppsholmen paraffin lamp was designed during the 19th century but was rejuvenated during the 1950’s. Now it is more popular than ever! This lamp is made from mouth blown glass with a round burning tube made from brass. The lamp burns with the power of approximately ten candles but can be adjusted to suit your mood. This paraffin lamp creates a wonderful, rich atmosphere in your home and makes an excellent alternative to electric lighting. Available in different colours.
The Skeppsholmen paraffin lamp in Cobolt is a striking piece that seamlessly blends traditional candle holder charm with a contemporary twist. I love its bold cobalt blue base which adds depth and colour to a variety of interiors, from Scandi minimalism to more eclectic styles. It works particularly well styled in collections, perhaps paired with brass accents or natural textiles, to create an inviting and curated look. For practical tips, place it on a mantle or sideboard with other ambient lighting, and consider using it in well-ventilated spaces since it’s a paraffin lamp - it’s perfect as a statement piece for cosy evenings or special gatherings. Its versatile colour and clean lines make it a great addition whether you want to add a pop of colour or complement softer, neutral palettes.
