Twisted Cross Candle Holder

Twisted Cross is a sculptural handmade iron candle holder inspired by simplicity, strength, and quiet spiritual symbolism. Defined by its slender twisted stem and refined vertical proportions, the piece balances rustic craftsmanship with minimalist elegance.

Each candle holder begins with a solid sand-cast iron base that grounds the composition with weight and texture. Rising upward, the iron stem is individually heated and twisted inch by inch by hand, creating a subtle rhythmic movement that catches light and shadow beautifully. The forged iron cup and delicate cross detail reinforce the piece’s symbolic and architectural character.

Designed to be displayed individually or grouped in varying heights, Twisted Cross creates a calm sculptural rhythm that feels timeless and contemplative. Its understated silhouette works beautifully on dining tables, mantels, consoles, altars, and refined interior spaces.

Each piece is individually handcrafted in the Luis Marquez Studio, preserving the subtle irregularities and artisanal quality that define handmade ironwork.
