DESCRIPTION A striking hand forged candlestick with a traditional swirled stem, the Fordham would make a statement in any room. Reminiscent of the swirls in a Gustav Klimt painting or the designs produced by the Arts and Crafts movement in the early 20th century,the Fordham has a beautiful organic feel that will sit perfectly in any interior. All Jim Lawrence products are made using traditional metal working techniques and are hand crafted to the highest standards at our Suffolk workshop. This decorative candlestick is made from forged iron and finished in beeswax to give it our popular soft black look that will be at home in a traditional or modern setting. The Fordham is 40cm high x 18cm wide and 10.5cm deep. Candles are sold separately and can be found here. Please note: We advise that you do not use beeswax products in a bathroom as the steel may rust in a damp environment. Finish Beeswax: A traditional technique used since Tudor times. The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect which looks fabulous in any traditional or contemporary interior. As beeswax is a natural finish that reacts with the underlying metal during the forging process, it often has a subtle, slightly mottled patina with undertones of deep grey or ochre. It is not waterproof, so will need to be re-waxed occasionally.
