Hand-Forged Iron Tree-Form Candelabrum Sculpture, Austria, 1960s This sculptural candle holder is formed as an abstract tree, composed of hand-forged iron branches that rise organically from a central trunk. The irregular, flowing lines and asymmetrical arms create a strong vertical presence, while multiple circular drip plates are integrated into the structure, combining functional candle use with expressive metalwork. The matte black surface emphasizes the forged texture and sculptural depth. Manufacturer and origin Workshop production, Austria. Date 1960s. Style and use Mid-century / handcrafted metal sculpture, designed as a freestanding multi-candle holder and decorative interior object. Condition Very good structural condition. Iron body remains solid and stable. Surface shows minor wear and patina consistent with age and hand-forged production. No breaks, cracks, or later modifications observed. Value justification Hand-forged iron candle sculptures from mid-20th-century Austria are appreciated for their artisanal production and sculptural character. Compared to mass-produced examples, individually forged works offer greater material presence and uniqueness. The tree-form composition, multiple candle plates, and stable freestanding base enhance both decorative and collectible value. Production context Reflects Central European metalworking traditions of the 1960s, when blackened iron was widely used in expressive yet functional interior objects. The organic, tree-like form aligns with mid-century interest in natural motifs interpreted through modern craftsmanship.
