Description
This wooden candle holder pairs a small gemstone tree with a cup for a single tea light, both set on one rectangular base. The tree has a trunk of twisted gold-coloured wire that divides into fine branches, each tipped with chips of stone, and the chips are grouped by colour to follow the seven chakras: purple, green, pale pink, clear, deep red, orange and smoky grey. A scatter of mixed stone chips covers the wood around the foot of the trunk. At the other end of the base sits a round gold-coloured cup on a short stem, sized to hold a tea light. The base is warm brown wood with an open grain, and the whole piece stands 13.2cm tall, 16.4cm wide and 7.2cm deep.
At 16.4cm wide it takes up little room, so it sits happily on a bedside table, a bookshelf, a desk or the end of a mantelpiece. We like it in a quiet corner kept for yoga, meditation or simply winding down in the evening, where a lit tea light gives the stones a soft glow. Unlit, it still works as a small ornament, with the colourful tree bringing a bright note to a neutral shelf. It makes a thoughtful gift wherever candlelight and a little colour are welcome.
The wire tree is fixed into the wooden base, and small feet underneath lift the base clear of the surface it stands on. To look after it, dust the wood and branches with a soft dry cloth or a clean soft brush, and keep water away from the wood. Always stand it on a flat, stable surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the cup cool before you change the tea light. Pair it with a trailing plant on a shelf for a calm, natural look.
