This wall-mounted stand is forged without a mold: iron heated, hammered, and bent into a form that holds a candle cup at its center. The imagery is drawn from everyday tribal life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt twenty-six inches, this handcrafted wall-mounted tea light stand from Bastar, Chhattisgarh occupies the space between furniture and art. The Lohshilp Iron Smith tradition produces artisanal forms that are figurative but abstracted, images from everyday tribal life reduced to their essential lines by a craft process that does not allow for ornamental excess. Iron heated to workability, shaped by hand and hammer, cooled into permanence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount it on a wall with a single hook. Light a candle in the cup at the center. The iron shadow the stand throws will extend several feet above and below it, longer than the object itself, shifting as the flame moves. It is a handmade piece that earns its wall space both lit and unlit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLohshilp Wrought Iron · Bastar, Chhattisgarh · Hand-Forged · Wall-Mounted Form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStill Light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a dry, soft cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not immerse in water or use liquid cleaners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove wax residue with a soft cloth while still warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolish metal surfaces occasionally with a soft brass cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"House of Taraasha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51903925977405,"sku":"HOT-CND-002","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2363\/3213\/files\/lifestyle_1_66442453-dca9-4901-818c-437ba33e35ec.png?v=1782990675","url":"https:\/\/houseoftaraasha.com\/products\/bastar-wall-stand-lohshilp-tribal-iron-tea-light","provider":"House of Taraasha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
