Pair Mexican Tin Sacred Heart Candleholders – Colorful Folk Art, 8.5" Tall
Offered here is a vibrant pair of hand-painted tin candleholders from Mexico, each crafted in the form of a flaming sacred heart—a powerful symbol in Latin American religious folk art. These eye-catching pieces feature a bold red heart framed by raised blue scrollwork, green foliage, and gold-tipped flames, all mounted on metallic purple and silver-tone square bases.
Topped with golden-tone candle cups, they are both functional and decorative, ideal for altars, shelf displays, or collectors of devotional and folk art. The exuberant color palette and expressive detailing reflect the artisanal charm of traditional Mexican tinwork.
Good condition overall, with some surface wear, wax residue in the cups, and several areas of chipped color as shown.
Condition:
In good condition with expected signs of use. There is wax residue present in the candle cups and several areas of chipped paint and color loss throughout. Surface wear consistent with age and handmade craftsmanship. Structurally sound with no major dents.
Size:
8.5" H x 4" W x 3" D
