Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Tripod Candle Holder

This striking hand-forged black iron candlestick holder features a rugged three-legged tripod base, evoking a traditional early American or colonial hearth aesthetic. Made of solid wrought iron and finished in matte black, it stands just over 8 inches tall with flared, curled feet that offer a dramatic silhouette and excellent stability. The top cup is wide and slightly conical, designed to catch wax drips and accommodate a standard taper candle. Traces of wax in the holder and patina on the underside suggest light prior use. The piece is unmarked but has the telltale hammer marks of hand-forging, making it a standout accent for rustic, farmhouse, or primitive-themed décor.

Estimated to date from the mid-20th century, likely around the 1950s–1970s, based on the style, construction methods, and aging of the materials.
