Description
The Florida candle holder is a solid block of 100% sandstone in a soft beige, with natural bands of deeper tone running through the stone. It measures 14.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 8cm tall, and the top has two openings for taper candles, so it carries a pair of flames side by side or a single candle when you want something quieter. Its character comes from the shape: a chunky, faceted block with one gently curved side, so it reads as a small sculpture as much as a candle holder. At 1.354KG it is weighty for its size, and it feels like real stone the moment it is in your hand.
Two tall flames give a dining table height without the clutter of several holders, and the 14.5cm length sits along the middle of a narrow table or on a mantelpiece, sideboard or deep shelf. With one candle lit it suits a bedside table, a coffee table or the corner of a desk, where a single flame feels calm rather than formal. Because the outline is angular and the stone unfussy, it sits happily beside marble, wicker, linen and pale wood, and it suits anyone who prefers natural materials and simple shapes to anything ornate.
Sandstone forms from layers of compacted sand, which is the source of its banding, and it is why no two blocks carry quite the same pattern: the piece you receive will have lines of its own. The stone has a fine, granular texture that catches candlelight softly, and the solid block gives a low, grounded presence on a table or shelf. The candles and other styling props shown are not included, which leaves the choice of candle to you. For styling, pale tapers let the banding take the lead, while a candle in a deeper shade picks up the darker lines in the stone.

Frequently Asked
What material is the candle holder?
It is made from 100% sandstone, a natural stone formed in layers, so the banding running through it differs from one piece to the next.
How many candles does it hold?
The top has two openings, so it holds two taper candles side by side, or a single taper if you prefer one flame.
How big is it?
It is 14.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 8cm tall, compact enough for a mantelpiece, a sideboard or the middle of a dining table.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.354KG, which is substantial for a piece of its size and gives it the solid feel of real stone.
Are candles included?
No. The candles shown are styling props and are not included, so you can pick taper candles in whatever shade suits the room.
What shape is it?
It is a chunky, faceted block with one gently curved side rather than a round holder, which gives the plain stone a sculptural outline.
