Pair of Early 1900s Forged Iron Candleholders from France

About the Item

This pair of forged iron candleholders was produced in France in the early 1900’s. The two holders have slightly different dimensions, indicating that they were crafted by hand. Each candleholder has two flat saucer-shaped bobeches beneath cylindrical capital cups. Elegant S-scroll arms flow towards a central ball joint, where they meet with a turned pricket that rises in between the cups. Four scrolled legs emanate from beneath the ball joint and are arranged in an “X” configuration. Mirroring the shape of the arms, the legs terminate on scrolled feet, giving the candleholders added grace. Our pair of French candleholders would look fantastic sitting on top of a fireplace mantel. The darkly patinated forged iron pieces can also be placed on a buffet, console, or side table.

Pair of Hand Forged 18th Century Spanish Iron Torchere Candle Holders
Located in Dallas, TX
Full of charm and character, this pair of iron torchere candle holders were hand-forged in Spain during the 1700s.

At the end of each arm is a torch-like light sconce with a banded noix at the bottom, topped by a flat bobeche with a thin rim and a folded cylindrical capital. Rising a few inches above is a third light source with an identical bobeche and capital that extends from the central column. The three-light spread is supported by tripod bases featuring sinuous legs that have been embellished by roundels set within thin fluting. Our pair of Spanish torchere...
