18th–19th Century French Wrought Iron Candleholder with Copper Snuffer, "Pricket" Candlestick

This 18th–19th century French wrought iron candleholder is a rustic example of traditional hand-forged lighting. It features a tripod base with curled feet, a central pricket for holding a candle, and an arched arm that suspends a copper cone snuffer on a ring. The piece shows clear evidence of handwork in its hammer marks and asymmetry, with a dark patina developed over centuries of use. Once a practical household or ecclesiastical object, it is now a collectible piece of ironwork and a distinctive decorative accent.
