Candle Holder Make Do Unique

This contemporary “make-do” candle holder is very unique and even though it is not old it certainly does have a great early look.

There is a delightful starburst pattern accenting some of the designs as shown. The dark appearance lends a great surface while the edges lend a folksy scroll and spike design. Harry added a wooden base to accommodate a candle using old wood. Notched sides accept the iron ends of the plate as shown on the back. A candle cup painted in a nutmeg brown holds a candle (also included) that rests nicely on the wooden base.
