Iron Art JM 77 Figural Lady Candlestick 1955 to 1970s Cast Iron

This Iron Art JM 77 cast iron figural lady candlestick was produced by the Iron Art Company and dates from the company's mid century production period, approximately 1955 to the 1970s.

The black cast iron design centers on a classical female figure posed beneath a raised floral candle cup, with an ornate pierced leaf form base below. Its sculptural shape gives it the look of an Art Nouveau inspired decorative figure while still functioning as a standard tabletop candlestick.
