See Video to appreciate this very RARE and unique sculpture by Jan Barboglio. SIGNED BY: Jan Barboglio. Total of TWO (Pair) that will be sent to you. (Normally, these are not sold as a pair) This is part of Barboglio's Iron Collection that is hand worked iron and metal with an Old Mexico design and bronze color finish. Two glass candle holders set right in metal ring and the glass holder has a lip on it so that it does not slide through. Glass holders are original to the pieces. Completely hand made, one of a kind work of art. Retired, rarely even see on the second market. MEASURES approximately 8" high, see pictures. This is an extraordinary piece that has the ribbon / bow setting within the candle holder. The piece is made of iron, and metal. Being a collector of Jan Barboglio -- I have seen this piece only one other time. Jan Barboglio described her Iron Collection as follows: "Each piece is hand worked. It is individually cast or wrought, hammered, sanded and hand finished. Variations of shading and texture are characteristic of the old world process. Each piece is slightly different. With our interpretation, some finishes are lightly applied. If you desire more protection, use a can of flat or semi-gloss polyurethane spray. " (Quoted from an original Jan Barboglio Iron Collection product label)

SEE VIDEO to see just how beautiful this artist work is. Is signed on the front, see pictures/ video. By JAN BARBOGLIO. These are highly collectable and with my collection of Jan Barboglio iron pieces, they tend to go off the shelf as soon as I get them. You may see brown in the piece and this is the finishing process that adds to its distinct iron metal beauty. Each of the artist piece is slightly different in shading texture, color, irregularities, and imperfections - because they are hand individually casted. The talent that goes into these pieces is just remarkable -- talent of combining materials is what makes each object of Jan Barboglio's original and distinctive and has become her trademark. She uses old wood, honed and combined with iron, glass, crystal, and stone mixed with silver and etched cut glass guarantees each object's authenticity. Her pieces are known to be aesthetically warm, primitively handsome and are TRUE WORKS OF ART. Of HIGH QUALITY and always sensuous to the touch, her works have become highly COLLECTABLE.
These iron pieces handmade by Jan Barboglio have a long history in Mexico and Latin American countries. Each piece is hand worked. It is individually cast or wrought, hammered, sanded and hand finished. Slight irregularities, imperfections and variations of shading and texture are characteristics of the material and the old world finishing process that adds to its distinct beauty. Each piece is slightly different.
JAN BARBOGLIO
After many years designing clothing with her sister in their Barboglio Cristina & Jan Collection, Jan Barboglio began sculpting accessories and furniture for her own home. Her childhood, spent in north central Mexico, would prove to be fertile ground for inspiration, and every object created by her would carry with it the rich history and romance of old Mexico.
Barboglio’s initial designs of wax grabbers were for her silver, bronze and iron candelabra. Altar pieces and house blessing crosses were integrated into her own home furnishings. Her love of entertainment would later result in her own iron chargers, platters and chafing dishes. Leather goods and saddle stools began to fill her home. All of these influences are evident in her Jan Barboglio Collection of today.
Jan Barboglio’s original designs led the way for her current and extensive home accessories line. The Jan Barboglio Collection has since flourished into crosses and crowns, fleur de lis and scrolls, wildflowers and roses, guardian angels and symbolic bleeding hearts. From her signature Box of Miracles which houses 12 metal “milagros”, prayer and family crosses, Barboglio is now well-known for bringing the spiritual aspect of old Mexico to home decor.
