Galvanized Steel Candelabra and Candles

 

The Galvanized Steel Candelabra is created from 1/2 inch galvanized steel pipe fittings which form a simple and raw industrial object. Originally designed as a Menorah for the seasonal Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, the candelabra holds 9 candles. The artwork measures 20 1/2 inches long by 13 inches high, weighs 5 1/2 pounds.

In place of regular wax candles, Galvanized Steel Candles were later created to support the industrial appearance of the artwork. Like the candelabra, the candles are formed from 1/2 inch galvanized steel pipe fittings. Epoxy putty is used to plug one end of the pipe, creating a reservoir inside the pipe fitting in which to hold liquid paraffin candle fuel. 1/16 inch nylon candle wick completes the design and provides a consistent flame out of each candle. The candles screw directly onto the threads of the candelabra or can sit in individually created candle holders.

These pieces are not for sale.
