Product Insights
A one-of-a-kind cast-iron candelabra from Tom Dixon, each piece uniquely textured from single-use sand casting. Its four arms rotate 360° with a weighty, planted feel (5.7 lb), modeled on Fairbairn's 1850 dock crane and referencing Calder's mobiles, to adjust from a 15.25-inch spread to a tight 4-inch cluster. Deep cast-iron cups hold tea lights and taper candles, containing wax without a tray. Available in putty, indigo, or black with a matte powder-coated finish; resists flaking but may chip on hard impact and should avoid sunlight to prevent fading. A collectible design rooted in Dixon's salvage welding pedigree, held by MoMA, V&A, and Pompidou.
