Description
Anneli is a pair of candle holders made entirely of travertine, a natural stone laid down by mineral springs and known for the small pits and open pores across its surface. Each holder rises from a wide base into a narrowing neck, finished with a round collar that holds the candle. Both are 5cm across, but one stands 7.5cm tall and the other 10cm tall, so the pair sits at two heights rather than in a matched row. The stone is a warm brown, and because travertine is natural, the veining and pitting differ from piece to piece, so no two holders are marked alike.
These are made for the places where candlelight earns its keep: a dining table, a mantelpiece, a sideboard in the hall or a deep windowsill on a winter evening. At 5cm across they need very little room, so they fit a narrow shelf or a crowded coffee table where a wider holder would not. Each collar takes a dinner candle or a slender taper, and the two heights work well with candles of the same length, giving a gentle step without any fuss. They suit anyone drawn to natural materials and quiet, considered pieces, and a pair of stone holders makes a thoughtful housewarming or Christmas present.
The travertine has a polished finish, which brings out the depth of the stone and gives it a soft sheen by candlelight. Travertine is a heavy natural stone, and the set weighs 0.52KG, so neither holder feels flimsy in the hand. As a natural stone it is also porous, which is part of its texture and character. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, set the taller holder slightly behind the shorter one, or space them along a table runner with a sprig of greenery between them.

Frequently Asked
What material are the candle holders?
They are made entirely of travertine, a natural stone with small pits and pores across its surface, and they have a polished finish.
How tall are the two holders?
One stands 7.5cm tall and the other 10cm tall, and both are 5cm across, so together they make a stepped pair.
Are the candles included?
No. You receive the two travertine candle holders only; the candles and other styling props shown are not included.
Will my holders be marked exactly alike?
No. Travertine is a natural stone, so the veining and pitting vary from piece to piece and each holder carries its own markings.
How heavy is the set?
The set weighs 0.52KG, and being made entirely of travertine, the holders have a pleasing weight for their size.
What colour are they?
They are a warm brown, the natural tone of the travertine, with the stone's own veining running through each piece.
