Vtg 13" BRUTALIST WELDED BENT METAL REBAR CANDLE HOLDER Steampunk FOLK ART Snake

Description

Excellent vintage Brutalist freestanding candleholder folk art.
I recently found this piece in a clean well maintained mid century modern estate.
This candle holder measures exactly 13" tall x 5.25" diameter at the base, and 3" diameter at the candle holder top.
Overall great shape with all of the welds intact, and no damage to report.
The metal appears to be steel rebar which has been smoothly and artistically bent into form, then layered with clear coat of lacquer. The base and the top are purposely crudely cut, almost giving the appearance that they were maybe ripped out of something larger.
A little very minor cleaning might possibly be needed and a little minor slight patina here and there might be found. Nothing terrible.
Please view all of the photos carefully as they are part of the description, and ask any questions you have before buying.
Thanks for looking!

DISCLAIMER:
(I shouldn't have to do this, nor do I want to, but recently I have been caught up with a couple buyers abusing the eBay return system. Hopefully I can take this disclaimer down soon!!)
Please note - There are
NO RETURNS
unless there is a unique circumstance arranged between myself the seller, and you the buyer. Between my photos, description, and your option to ask questions beforehand, there should be no discrepancy whatsoever in what it is that you are receiving. And I think you will sometimes find my pieces to be even better in person once you receive them! Check my feedback!!
By bidding/winning an auction, or purchasing a piece BIN, you are committing to buying and accepting this piece as is!! Please do no ruin auctions for others, or take away other potential buyers chances to buy a piece they may want. It's a giant waste of time for everyone involved. So please make sure you are serious when bidding!!
Can you go back to your local auction house and return pieces for a full refund after bidding everyone else out, winning, paying, and taking the piece home?? Or can you go into your local antique store and demand a full refund after holding onto it or using it for 30 days?? The same normal everyday rational rules of human engagement apply here!!
Treasure hunting for you is how I pay the bills. It takes quite a bit of time to sell each piece from beginning to end; Searching for, procuring it, cleaning it up, researching, photography, all the middle parts you see when you are on eBay looking, then high quality thoughtful packing, shipping, etc.
I am running a very small honest business, not an Amazon or Walmart. Most of my pieces are vintage or antique, and sometimes have the possibility of showing a little bit of character. I will always do my very best to disclose everything to my full ability.
Ask me anything you want!! I am easy to work with and here for you!!
