Wrought Iron Candle Holders
Unique Hand-Forged Candle Holders
As more creative outlet to my craft as a blacksmith, I hand-forge wrought iron candle holders with an artistic touch to the metal. Make it a unique, decorative piece to your living space or a portable, old-world lamp that lasts a lifetime. Commission a custom wrought iron candle holder to match your aesthetic.

Craftsmanship Behind the Iron Work
My hand-forged wrought iron candle holders are designed and crafted by me in my Michigan-based blacksmithing shop. They're enduring pieces that are designed to last a lifetime.
Making candle holders with iron offers limitless possibilities as a creative metal worker. I enjoy creating detailed pieces that push the limits of my craft and are appreciaed by those who use them.
While organic touches like flowers and leaves are a favorite decorative design to make, I take my artistic abilities to all sorts of custom projects.
About the Blacksmith
Hi, I am Pete VanDyken, the owner and blacksmith behind Van’s Iron Works. Thank you for visiting my website! Van’s Iron Works started in Kalamazoo, Michigan by my great-grandfather who immigrated from the Netherlands in 1911. I inherited some of his tools while I was in my teens and developed a passion for the art of blacksmithing, a passion I’m still cultivating today.
With the heat of the forge, iron can be shaped between the hammer and anvil in ways that cannot be achieved any other way. While closely matching pieces can be made by hand forging, no two will be exactly the same, creating unique one-of-a-kind projects. The possibilities are almost endless!
I’m looking forward to working with you to make your ideas become a reality!
