Modern finishes with traditional materials (wrought iron)

Elegance and solemnity are fundamental elements in any piece of parish furniture.

Wrought-iron votive stands are a very interesting option for those churches that wish to continue using candles, large candles, or wax votive lamps.

Wrought iron is a traditional material that has been used in the manufacture of votive stands for churches for a long time. Nowadays, the manufacturing process for wrought-iron products has been refined, especially in everything related to finishes. It remains a predominantly artisanal process, but it has incorporated new technologies that allow much better results.

Wrought-iron votive stands continue to be pieces of great strength, but with more delicate finishes, in accordance with the manufacturing technology used nowadays.

Manufacturing process of wrought iron

The manufacture of a wrought-iron votive stand is a predominantly artisanal process that requires great skill and experience.

The first step consists of shaping the iron by applying heat and hammer. This technique shapes each of the pieces that will form part of the finished votive stand.

Once the desired shape has been achieved, the surface is sanded and polished. During this stage of the manufacturing process, all imperfections that may have been generated during the previous process are removed.

The next step is the application of an anti-corrosion treatment that protects the iron from oxidation. Finally, over the anti-corrosion layer, a layer of paint in the desired colour is applied.
