Vintage Brutalist & Wrought Iron Decorative Lot — Candlesticks, Ruby Glass Candle Holder & Cast Metal Tray

A curated decorative lot featuring sculptural wrought iron candlesticks, a ruby red glass and metal candle holder, and a cast metal tray with engraved figural detail. This grouping blends Brutalist, rustic, and hand-forged aesthetics, ideal for collectors of mid-century and artisan metalwork décor.

Dimensions: Varied sizes; candlesticks approx. 11–13" H; ruby glass candle holder approx. 5" H; tray approx. 7" W (see photos for scale).
Condition: Good vintage condition overall with surface wear, patina, and oxidation consistent with age and use; glass intact; no major structural damage.
Note: Offered as a decorative lot; candles and display props not included.

What’s Included: Pair of wrought iron candlesticks with hand-forged tripod bases; ruby red glass and metal candle holder with diamond-cut openings; cast metal tray with engraved figural scene and beaded rim.

Historical Notes: Hand-forged wrought iron candlesticks were traditionally made in small workshops, giving each piece subtle variations that make them uniquely individual. Ruby red glass achieves its color through gold chloride, a centuries-old glassmaking technique prized for its deep jewel tone when illuminated. Cast metal trays with engraved imagery were popular mid-century as both functional ashtrays and sculptural décor, often featuring symbolic or folk-inspired scenes. The combination of raw metal and colored glass reflects Brutalist and MCM design principles focused on texture, contrast, and honest materials.
