Mexican Tin Candleholder Hand-Punched Folk Art from the Jonathan Parks Estate
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
An exceptional mid-century Mexican tin candleholder, featuring three arms and intricate hand-punched star and dot motifs typical of folk tinwork from Oaxaca and central Mexico. The symmetrical, crescent-shaped form is elevated on a pedestal base, giving the piece both architectural structure and sculptural presence. The underside bears the simple stamped mark “MEXICO,” confirming its origin.
This piece was sourced from the Jonathan Parks estate in Santa Fe, known for his discerning eye for Southwestern and Latin American art and design. The geometric punching patterns and domed detailing echo traditional “hojalata” (tin art) techniques that Mexican artisans developed in the 19th and 20th centuries—originally inspired by Spanish colonial metalwork traditions.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate wear, light surface oxidation, and minor irregularities consistent with handcraftsmanship. The piece retains a soft, silvery patina that highlights its intricate texture and history.
Styling Ideas
- Display as a centerpiece on a rustic farmhouse or desert-modern dining table, flanked by pottery or woven textiles.
- Style on a mantel, console, or altar table alongside santos figures, retablos, or other Mexican tinwork.
- Perfect for interiors that celebrate Santa Fe style, Hacienda revival, or old-world craftsmanship — blending beautifully with both European and Southwestern antiques...
