Description
This pink enamel chamberstick candle holder takes the old carry-to-bed candlestick and turns it into a small, sweet heart. A shallow heart-shaped pan with a softly ruffled rim surrounds a neat central cup, and a round loop handle rises from the dip of the heart, as on a traditional chamberstick. We love the soft, sugared look of its glossy pink enamel, both playful and pretty. It measures 7.5cm wide, 9.3cm long and 4.2cm high, with the pan itself 7.5cm across. It is a petite piece that takes a slim candle up to 2cm in diameter.
Because it is so small, it settles happily in places a larger holder would crowd: a bedside table, a dressing table, a windowsill or a narrow shelf. The loop handle gives you something to hold when you move it. The dished pan around the cup is there to gather drips of wax before they reach the furniture. Set it beside a vase of fresh flowers or a small framed print for a gentle pool of candlelight in the evening. The pink tone sits well with white, cream and grey schemes. It adds a touch of warmth to a cottage or vintage-style room without taking over.
The holder is made of cast iron with a glossy enamel finish. Three small foam pads on the base help prevent scratches to surfaces, so it sits gently on a wooden table or painted shelf. To keep the enamel looking bright, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Ease away any cooled wax with your fingers rather than scraping it. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it clear of curtains and anything else that might catch. It makes a charming little gift paired with a few slim candles, or a pretty finishing touch for your own bedside.
