Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Serpent Candle Holders (Set of 5)

Sold out

Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Serpent Candle Holders (Set of 5)

$450.00

These candle holders are one-of-one, hand-forged wrought iron crafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques. The authentic hammer marks and textured surface tell the story of its completely unique creation.

They have so much personality I feel like they’re going to come alive like Lumière in Beauty and the Beast. I’d love to sprawl them out on a long dining table for a big dinner party but alas I do not have the right set up, so these are for you. I paired them with mixed green candles to bring out the earthiness but I think they’d look great with any.

Candles placed for effect and are not included with purchase.

Material: hand-forged wrought iron

Measurements: largest candle holder is 14” H x 7.5” W x 4.5” D

Weight: (all 5) 4.5 lbs

Condition: excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate wear and patina, as seen in photographs

This set is one-of-a-kind.

Stoneware 'Melon' Box

$225.00

A really beautiful glazed stoneware vessel for your secret things... This piece has such a strong, minimal presence and a gorgeous patina that tells me it’s seen a lot in its days. Came from the estate of a woman with incredible taste and a storied life. Super special.

Material: stoneware

Measurements: 4.25” H x 6.75” L x 6.75” W

Weight: 4 lbs

Condition: excellent vintage condition — wear and inconsistencies are unique to the original item

Braque by John Russell, 1959

$32.00

This 1959 edition is a survey of the art of Georges Braque by the English art critic John Russell. It is 128 pages and includes 80 photo reproductions (24 in color). This is such a great book inside and out - and one of the few times I prefer an art book without the dust jacket (I even like the wear and toning).

Condition: good vintage condition — toning and wear as seen in photographs, and a minor tear in the bottom left near the binding, but overall the book is in good condition with clean crisp pages

10.75in x 7.5in, 128 pages

90s Sculptural "Ballerini" Candle Holder Attributed to John R. Keyser

$90.00

I love this piece because it’s borderline not cool but in actuality it is very cool and very alive. Black taper candles bring out the sculptural feeling best. Attributed to John R. Keyser’s “Ballerini” dancing figure designs from the late 20th century.

*Candles not included with purchase, used only for effect. Item has been cleaned and removed of residual wax.

Material: steel, blackened gunmetal satin finish

Measurements: 14” H x 6” W x 4.5” D

Weight: 3.2 lbs

Condition: good vintage condition — light surface wear and slight rusting at the base consistent with age

privacy gallery is a curation of one-of-a-kind and hard-to-find objects that in some small way feel alive.

they evoke the hand of their maker, nod toward nature, capture a sense of movement, or celebrate the beauty of human messiness.

i love to think about these objects finding a home in your private world — and the idea that they play some small roll in nurturing the person you share with the rest of us.

x ford, your loving curator
