Project Story

Five roses. Each petal forged individually at the anvil, shaped while the steel is orange, then assembled into a bloom that looks like it grew from the metal. Leaves with veins hammered in. Stems that curve naturally. A scrollwork base that holds the whole bouquet upright.

This is a candelabra that functions as sculpture. Candle holders sit among the roses, the flames giving the steel a warm glow. Every piece was forged by hand — no castings, no stock components. The roses take the most time. Getting a petal to curl right, to overlap the way a real rose does, that’s feel. You can’t measure it. You hammer it until it looks alive.

Pieces like this are why the shop exists. Not every project is a house or a restaurant. Sometimes it’s a single object that sits on a table and makes someone stop and look.

Next Step

If Rose Candelabra feels close to what you want, tell us about your project.

The useful next step is a short conversation. Tell us what the space needs to do, where the project stands now, and what part of this project feels most relevant to your own.

  • Mention this project, or the detail from it that is closest to your goal.
  • Include the location, timing, and whether this is one phase or part of a larger scope.
  • Explain what the finished space needs to do, not just what it should look like.
