Vintage Black hand forged Iron signed candle holder

this wonderful unique piece is vintage probably from the 50's. It is signed but I can't make out the maker's name. I can tell you that it is a solid well made piece that has a primitive look and is really cool. I believe it is a candle holder going by the small holes. It looks really great with all the thin candles lit up and even when not in use it makes for an interesting decor piece
