It is hand made of wrought iron and pine and is in very good overall condition. The piece features forged, heavily textured wrought iron combined with a rustic, dark-stained wooden beam base. A rigid, wall-mounted triangular suspension frame built from twisted iron rods supports the wooden beam that holds the bobeches (candle cups). There is scroll strapping at the crown, candle branches, and the finial tail. As it is handmade, there are imperfections to be found, but what is there just adds to the character of the piece. When we acquired it, the right bobeche was not attached, and after getting into it, it was found that someone had tried to repair it before. There was much effort put into rectifying this, but it would be safer to "drill" a hole into the candle before inserting it onto the spike. Rather than putting a lot of weight on that piece. There is some corrosion around the edges that was left as it just added charm. All of the wood and metal pieces were coated with clear enamel to bring out the colors and to help preserve the candelabra in the state it is now in. The candles shown are not included. Please see the pictures for further details.
