Hand forged from wrought iron, the tall standard is shaped with a beautifully twisted shaft rising to five candle cups, each supported by gracefully scrolling arms. Hand applied brass foliate accents bring warmth and definition to the dark iron while emphasizing the artistry of its construction.
The blacksmith’s workmanship is visible throughout, from the hammered candle cups and individually formed scrolls to the balanced silhouette and substantial base. Its combination of iron and brass reflects the enduring influence of Spanish ecclesiastical and architectural metalwork that inspired the Spanish Revival movement during the early to mid-20th century.
Equally decorative with or without candles, the torchère creates an impressive accent beside a fireplace, within an entryway, or positioned before a window where its elegant outline can be fully appreciated. Its height and open form give it presence without visual heaviness, allowing it to complement antique furnishings as naturally as a more contemporary interior.
Circa early 1900s
Measures 61.5H x 24W x 20D
