Description :

A sculptural black metal candelabrum featuring a striking combination of folk art–inspired forms and symbolic decorative elements. The piece is built around a tiered, tree‑like structure with circular branches, each fitted with candle cups and small hanging ornaments shaped like fruit or pods. Two stylized birds perch at the top, adding a balanced, symmetrical presence. The base is anchored by a sculpted ram or goat head, giving the work a strong visual foundation and a distinctive character.

The surface shows intentional textural variation consistent with handcrafted metalwork. The overall design blends rustic, symbolic, and decorative qualities, making it suitable for display as an art object or as a functional candle holder.

Condition General wear consistent with age and handling. Some surface marks and finish variations present. Candles shown in some photos are for demonstration only.


Dimensions : 19 in W x 17 in H
