This one started at a thrift store — and every piece had a past life.
The bold sunflower bloom began as the base of a cast iron candle holder made in Japan, its origin still engraved in the metal. The sweeping arms came from scrolls salvaged from another candle holder, while the leaves were cut from a decorative wall mirror and repurposed exactly as they were.
The base is a trophy cup flipped upside down — its pedestal transformed into part of the sculpture.
Every piece had a past life. Now they share one story.
Priced to find a home, not a warehouse.
