This remarkable vintage bird-form candle holder is handcrafted by Los Castillo of Taxco, Mexico. The warm copper body is richly detailed with hand-tooled feathering, brass accents and iridescent abalone shell inlay arranged in an intricate wing pattern. Its graceful profile, slender legs and dramatically elongated tail give the piece a striking presence from every angle.
Designed to hold a single taper candle, this exceptional example of mid-century Mexican metalwork is as captivating as a decorative sculpture as it is functional.
