Description
This black candle holder is made from mango wood with a little iron, 95% mango and 5% iron by composition, and it stands 26cm tall and 8cm across. Its outline is what you notice first: a tall cone forms the base, three flat rings stack one over another at the waist, and a smaller cone opens out at the top to take a taper candle. The grain of the mango wood stays visible through the black, so it still looks like wood. It weighs 0.44KG, light enough to carry from one room to another whenever needed.
At 26cm tall it gives a taper candle real height, which suits a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a console table in the hallway or the centre of a dining table. The black sits comfortably beside pale oak and other light woods and stands out clearly against a white wall, so it works in a calm Scandinavian room as well as a more traditional one. Place two or three along a console and the stacked rings set up a pleasing rhythm. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone settling into a new home, since it needs nothing more than a candle to be ready.
Mango wood makes up nearly all of the holder, with iron forming the small remainder, and the round base stands flat on a shelf or table. Because mango is a natural wood, the grain varies from one piece to the next, so the pattern on yours will be its own. The holder is sold singly, and the candles and styling props shown are not included. As a styling note, a candle in cream or ivory looks especially fresh against the black, and a twisted taper adds a little movement to the clean, stacked lines of the rings.
