Description
This is a set of three iron candle holders in brass, each with its own shape and its own height. The shortest stands 8cm tall and 5cm wide on a broad, bell-like base, with a faceted stem rising to a cup with a flared lip. The middle holder is 11cm tall and 4.5cm wide, its stem pinched and twisted into a run of turns. The tallest reaches 13cm tall and 5cm wide, with a slender stem and a small curl, like a shepherd's crook, set partway along it. Each carries a cup at the top that takes a taper candle, so the trio works together or apart.
Grouped together, the three heights make a small stepped arrangement for a dining table, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a windowsill, and the different shapes keep the group interesting from every side. Used singly, each works just as well: one on a bedside table, one on a bookshelf, one on the corner of a desk. They suit anyone who likes candlelight with an older, lived-in character, and they make a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone who already has plenty of matching pieces. Three slim tapers burning at different levels give a table a gentle rise and fall of light through a dinner.
The holders are made of iron, and the brass colour comes from an electroplated finish, a thin layer of metal bonded to the surface by an electric current. That surface is far from smooth: it is dimpled and faceted, with the look of hammered metal, and the recesses sit deeper than the raised edges, which gives the trio an aged, slightly worn character rather than a polished shine. For styling, place them close together on a tray or a low stack of books so the heights overlap, and pick twisted tapers to echo the turns in the stems; the styling props shown are not included.
