Description
Our pinecone candle holder sets two clear glasses into a long, low arrangement of brown pine cones, each one tipped with a dusting of gold glitter. Gold baubles sit at either end, a paler champagne bauble rests between the glasses, and sprigs of green foliage and small rounded leaves are tucked in among the cones, so the whole piece looks like a little winter woodland gathered on the table. It measures 34cm wide, 14.5cm deep and 8cm high: low enough to talk over at dinner and slim enough for a mantelpiece or a narrow sideboard.
Set it down the centre of the Christmas dining table, along a windowsill or across the mantelpiece, and the two glasses give a pair of small candles a warm, glowing home among the cones. It suits a hall table or a coffee table through the festive weeks too, and with cones and foliage on both long sides it looks finished from either direction, so it can sit on a kitchen island or any table people gather round. The brown and gold palette sits happily with traditional red and green schemes as well as natural, rustic looks. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves dressing the house for the season.
The two clear glass holders are set within the arrangement, ready for your candles, with the cones, baubles and foliage built up around them. To keep it looking its best, dust the cones and baubles with a soft dry brush or cloth, and wipe the glasses with a damp cloth once the candles are out and cool. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep flames away from the cones and greenery. After Christmas, store it flat in a dry place and it will be ready to bring out again next December. For a fuller table, lay it on a runner and scatter a few loose cones along its length.
