Magnolia Sconce Bloom – Reclaimed Metal Sculpture

Hand-cut sheet metal petals & salvaged sconce cups. ⚙️

I cut and welded every single petal by hand to build this full magnolia bloom, tracing the edges with rough, highlighted weld beads. Extending from the blossom is a sweeping swirl of wrought-iron scrollwork holding three salvaged candleholder cups—giving new life to pieces scavenged from old wall sconces. Set on a dark oval ring frame and a heavy dome base, it balances raw industrial grit with striking theatrical movement.
