Hand-Forged Candle Holder: Late Medieval Form Meets Bronze Age Wisdom
Imagine the flickering light of a candle in a medieval hall, then look closer and see a symbol etched thousands of years earlier, in the Bronze Age, on stone. This candle holder is a deliberate bridge across time, combining the practical, robust form of a late medieval iron holder with the ancient, resonant symbolism of a Bronze Age rock carving motif. It embodies the enduring human need for light and meaning, connecting you to the layered history of those who came before.
Crafted with Purpose: The iron holder is hand-forged in a late medieval style, shaped at the anvil with the robust utility and character of the period. Each curve and join is the mark of the blacksmith's skill. The sturdy wooden base provides a foundation, upon which a Bronze Age rock carving motif is carefully rendered, echoing the symbols etched into stone millennia ago. This piece is a confluence of distinct historical crafts – authentic hand-forged ironwork paired with ancient symbolic art – creating an object rich in history and intention.
A Symbol for Your Story: This candle holder represents the continuity of human creativity and the timeless power of symbols. The light it holds cuts through darkness, just as understanding illuminates the past. The combination of medieval form and Bronze Age motif speaks to the idea that wisdom and meaning transcend single eras, echoing through the ages. Placing this piece in your home is an act of bringing history and layered Meaning into your space, a tangible connection to the vast Legacy of human artistry and the stories embedded in the very materials we shape.
Care Recommendations: To preserve the pendant’s finish, avoid direct exposure to water and moisture. It has a protective linseed oil layer, so if it does get damp, just wipe it off and let it dry.
Outdoor Use: For outdoor wear, consider reapplying a light coat of oil or wax occasionally to maintain its protection, especially in changing environments. Regular use helps enhance the pendant's character over time.
