Starozlaté železné svícny

The tripod base really earns its keep—I set one up on a slightly uneven shelf and it didn't wobble an inch, even with the tall taper in place. The tapered silhouette makes it look far more delicate than its weight suggests, which is exactly the balance I was hoping for.

The gold finish catches the light beautifully, and even though these stand tall, they don't wobble a bit on the tripod base. The tapered silhouette looks far more delicate in person than the weight suggests, which is exactly the balance I was hoping for.

The tripod base is surprisingly sturdy for such a tall, slender piece — it doesn’t wobble at all on my mantel. I love how the tapered silhouette makes it look delicate even though it has some real weight to it.
