Contemporary Natural Twiggy Candelabra Centrepiece Handcrafted by Jan Ernst
About the Item
Twiggy was created as an imaginary creature that embodies the physical attributes of
different life forms that fascinate me. As an artist, I often get lost in a make-believe world
where anything is possible, and the rules of logic don't apply.
This sculptural candelabra could be half centipede, half coral, with horns
growing on its back. On its own, its absurdity captures the viewer's attention as a
three-dimensional artwork with an African identity, but transforms further when the candles
elongate its linear body and the light bounces of the spikey texture.
The aim is to give the viewer a glimpse into the fantasy world that exists in my mind.
As the first of its kind, Twiggy sets the mood for a collection of imaginary creatures to follow.
The sculptural candelabra is made of unglazed, white stoneware clay with and red to earthernware temperatures.
Jan Ernst is a multidisciplinary creative specializing in functional art and spatial design using clay as his main medium. The work is driven by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi and rock formations. His organic designs stem from his abstract understanding of form and space influenced by his background in architecture, his connection with the natural world and his South African heritage.

Iron Floral Candelabra by Jan Barboglio
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A earlier retired Iron floral candelabra by Jan Barboglio titled "Passion flower Candelabra"
After many years designing clothing with her sister in their Barboglio Cristina & Jan Collection, Jan Barboglio began sculpting accessories and furniture for her own home. Her childhood, spent in north central Mexico, would prove to be fertile ground for inspiration, and every object created by her would carry with it the rich history and romance of old Mexico.
Barboglio’s initial designs of wax grabbers were for her silver, bronze and iron candelabra. Altar pieces and house blessing crosses were integrated into her own home furnishings. Her love of entertainment would later result in her own iron chargers, platters and chafing dishes...

Georgian Style English Sterling Silver Two-Light Candelabra or Centrepiece
By Richard Comyns
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A fine pair of vintage Elizabeth II English sterling silver two-light candelabra in the George I style; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection.
These fine vintage Elizabeth II sterling silver candelabra have a plain circular form, in the George I style.
Each impressive two-light candelabrum retains the original hallmarked detachable push fit scrolling arms, which support two rounded waisted capitals with plain circular dished drip pans.
These versatile vintage candelabra can be used as candlesticks once the arms (labra) are detached.
The knopped stems are surmounted on sunken wells, to tooled decorated circular spreading bases.
The filled bases retain the original leatherette covering to the underside.
The base of each was made by Richard Comyns of William Comyns & Sons Ltd and the labra were crafted by William Bruford & Son; these items will have been crafted in the same year but due to the hallmarking system the bases are struck with the date letter 'd' and the labra bear 'e'.
Two different maker's crafting alternative components of candelabra is not an uncommon practice due to the manufacturing process.
