File this under: holiday gift for the 1 percent, but these sculptural candelabras are so seductive that anyone can admire them, even from afar.
Designed by Brooklyn-based Fort Standard, the candelabras are made from sprue, also known as gating wax, a material used in casting to direct the flow of molten metals. In the process of creating each candelabra, the molds are destroyed so each piece is shaped unique to itself. Below are some of the regal-looking candelabras, priced from high (brace yourself) to low.
