Iron Planter Stand Appraisal

Wrought Iron Triple Candle Holder or Small Planter Stand

This item is a decorative wrought iron stand, likely designed to hold three taper candles or perhaps small potted plants. It features a central twisted metal column that rises from a circular base. Three circular rings extend outwards from the central column at varying heights, designed to hold the candles or pots. The metal appears to be a dark, possibly blacksmith-finished or painted black iron, exhibiting some wear and minor rust accumulation, particularly on the lower rings and the base, suggesting an aged patina or outdoor use at some point. The construction seems robust, with visible welding or brazing points where the rings attach to the central column. The overall aesthetic suggests a rustic, possibly country-style or early 20th-century design influence, though it could also be a more contemporary reproduction. There are no discernible manufacturer marks or signatures visible in the provided images. The item's proportions suggest it's designed to be a tabletop or shelf-top accent piece. The unevenness in the black finish and the visible texture of the iron indicate a handcrafted or small-batch manufacturing process rather than mass production. The Goodwill tag indicates a price of $1.99, confirming its current status as a thrift store find.
