Iron Candle Stand

This sturdy iron candle stand is made in Takaoka City, known for its centuries-old metalworking and copper-smelting industry. This candle stand is made using press machines that punch out the different parts of the stand from iron sheets with the help of metal moulds. The different parts are bent then assembled through riveting and caulking. Once completed the stand is finished with a final coating, achieved through low-temperature baking. The long hand of the stand makes carrying candles convenient.

Do not leave it on wet surfaces.

Size: L10.5 cm x W9 cm x H15.5 cm
