Hand forged viking candlestick

This Viking-style candlestick is crafted by hand from a single piece of steel, using intense heat, sweat, and hammer blows. The process involves "upsetting" the end to increase mass, drawing out the bar to double its length, and forming a fan shape that is then rolled into the cup. After shaping and bending, the result is a unique, organic candlestick with twists and curves reminiscent of a lily. By using iron as the material, this piece pays tribute to the early Iron Age smiths who likely worked on similar projects in their spare time. The finish is achieved through a vigorous brushing and clear coat enamel, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece that has kept the maker company over the past few days. Place it by your side while you journey into a good book, or let it spark your imagination. And in the spirit of community, Mr. Sneakers, the shop cat, has posed with the product and part of the proceeds will be donated to cat nip.
