This candle holder is a wall sconce made of hand-forged iron. A slender, flat strip of iron tapers upward from a gilded, onion-shaped bobèche, the cup that holds the candle. The shape draws on the Spanish Colonial chapels and haciendas of colonial Mexico.
The iron is pounded flat by hand, which leaves subtle variation on the surface. It can be mounted as a single sconce or grouped in multiples.
