Comments

This candle holder is made from a single piece of iron that has been cut and bent to shape.  One pointed end allows it to be anchored into a wood wall; the other pointed end allows it to be hung from a lip.  A flat and wider center section has been bent to create a socket for a candle.

The candle holder is an inventive and novel shape.  It shows no evidence of handwork or age and is a modern creation.
