Early to Mid-20th-Century Hand-Forged Iron Floor-Standing Candelabrum - 40¼"

This impressive early to mid-20th-century floor-standing candelabrum is handcrafted from wrought iron, with six sweeping candle arms arranged around a central light, as well as an additional candle holder set within the openwork body below. The tall, airy structure is animated by twisting ironwork and delicate trailing leaves, which wind around the cage-like stem before descending to three elegantly scrolled feet. The iron has developed a rich, naturally oxidized patina that emphasizes the handmade character of the piece and gives the foliage and curves greater depth.

Its generous height and branching silhouette give it wonderful presence even when unlit, almost like a piece of garden sculpture. Filled with candles, it would be especially atmospheric on a terrace for long summer dinners. Equally appealing in an entrance hall, conservatory or beside a fireplace, its open construction keeps the scale feeling light despite its impressive proportions.
