Object No. IRO-002
Hammered Iron Pedestal Candle Holder
Physical Description:

This sculptural piece features a slender, tapering pedestal that transitions from a stable circular base to an elegant, wide-lipped tray designed for candle placement. The entire surface is defined by a rhythmic, hand-stamped dimpled texture, reflecting the traditional Pandai Besi (metal-working) craftsmanship where iron sheets are transformed through repetitive striking. Finished in a rich, dark bronze patina with subtle copper highlights, the tactile relief creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, evoking the rugged yet refined aesthetic of ancient Balinese metalware while providing a warm, atmospheric glow when in use.
