About the Item

Unique and handmade functional art in cast bronze. Handcrafted two-arm candelabra in cast bronze, featuring small sculpted motifs of an elephant and acacia tree in a verdigris patina. These decorative elements were individually wax modelled, making each piece entirely unique, as no molds were used. Each candlestick is finished by hand, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. Patinas may vary. Can be made as a matching pair. Similar designs in different sizes or featuring alternative motifs are available on request. Imagine a piece that reflects your unique taste - I can turn your ideas into stunning bronze art. From statement furniture to exquisite lighting and decor in cast bronze, each creation is tailored to your vision and interior. Your imagination is the only limit! Upon receipt of order the casting takes place at my foundry using the lost wax method. Shipping from South Africa is approx 3 - 6 weeks after placement of order. I am a self-taught South African artist whose work is inspired by Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, and people. My years as a safari guide gave me an intimate connection to the bush — a place that taught me everything I know about shape, form, and movement. You can’t sculpt what you don’t feel, and every moment spent observing wildlife offers a lesson in balance, grace, and presence. I am drawn to bronze — an ancient material with a living surface that changes, deepens, and gains character over time, much like the landscapes and creatures that inspire me. Each patina adds its own mood and individuality, ensuring every piece carries its own quiet story. My work ranges from bird, wildlife, figurative, abstract to African sculpture and bespoke sculptural furniture and lighting. Each piece is entirely handcrafted — sculpted, cast, chased, and patinated by me in my own foundry using the traditional lost-wax method. Every creation reflects Africa’s beauty, strength, and spirit — enduring in material and authentic in character.
