Description
This pair of black iron candle holders is built around a ribbon of flat metal that winds upwards in a looping curve before it meets a small cup for the candle. Each holder stands on a round, flat disc of iron, and the two are not twins: one is 17.5cm tall and the other 20cm tall, so the cups sit at different heights when you place them side by side. Both are 10cm long and 7.5cm wide, a footprint small enough for a windowsill or a narrow shelf. The taller one curls over at the top to cradle its cup, while the shorter one finishes at its base in a little hooked tail.
A pair at two heights is an easy way to give a mantelpiece or dining table some rhythm. Set them close together so the curves seem to answer each other, or split them between the two ends of a sideboard. They suit a hallway console, a deep windowsill or a bookcase shelf with a little clearance overhead, on an ordinary weeknight as much as for a celebration. A taper candle sits upright in the cup at the top of each, and with tall candles in place the uneven heights become more pronounced. The black reads strongly against pale walls and light wood, and sits quietly beside darker furniture.
Both holders are 100% iron, finished with zinc plating and lacquer. Iron is a dense, rigid metal, which suits a design built from such a slender strip. Zinc plating and lacquer are both coatings laid over the bare metal, so the surface you handle is the finished one rather than raw iron. The styling props shown are not included, candles among them. For a balanced look, choose two candles of the same length so the difference in height comes from the holders alone, or use one long and one short taper to stretch the gap further.
