Edo Period Japanese Antique Iron Copper Teshoku Candle Stand Narcissus Flower
This is an antique Japanese hand-held candle stand (teshoku) dating from the Edo period (17th–19th century). The piece is constructed using a combination of iron and copper.
The stand is forged in the shape of a narcissus (suisen) flower. The stem and leaves, which form the handle, are made of iron, while the petal-shaped candle cup at the top is crafted from copper (or copper alloy). The design is intended for carrying by hand or placement on flat surfaces such as tatami mats.
Body (Stem & Leaves): Forged from Iron. The handle curves elegantly to mimic the twisting leaves of a Narcissus.
