Description
This black metal candle lantern gives a pillar candle a frame of slender wire. The wire forms a softly rounded basket that swells out from a narrow round base and tapers again towards an open top. Upright wires run from top to bottom, held by a single ring around the middle, so the piece reads as a light, airy outline rather than a solid shape. A flat round dish at the base gives the candle a steady place to stand. It is 27cm tall, a comfortable height for a sideboard or table without crowding the space around it.
Because the wire is open all the way round, the flame stays visible from every side and throws soft lines of shadow across the wall behind it. We like it on a mantelpiece, a hallway console, a dining table or a deep windowsill, and it sits happily on a wide shelf with plenty of clear space above it. The plain black suits a modern room with clean lines, and it looks equally at home against painted wood and pale walls in a traditional setting. Group it with other lanterns and candles on a sideboard for the long dark evenings, or let it stand alone as a quiet focal point.
The lantern is made from black metal wire, with the uprights joined to the central ring and the round base dish. Lower your pillar candle through the open top into the middle of the base, and choose one with room to spare so the flame sits well clear of the wire. As with any candle, never leave it burning unattended, keep it away from curtains and anything that might catch, and let the metal cool before you move it. Dust the wire now and then with a soft dry cloth. Set beside a vase of seasonal stems or taller candles, it brings a calm glow to the end of the day.
