Description
This bat wing candle holder brings a touch of gothic fun to Halloween, with a pair of outstretched bat wings spreading from either side of a round candle cup. It is made from metal in a matt black finish, so its silhouette reads clearly against a lamplit wall or a window at dusk. The cup sits on a slim upright stem that rises from a flat, round base, so it stands freely on a shelf, sideboard or table. It measures 26cm tall, 19cm wide and 8cm deep, a size that fits neatly on a mantelpiece or side table while still giving the wings room to show.
Halloween is when this candle holder really comes into its own. We like it on a hallway console, a dresser or the middle of a party table, where a lit candle in the cup casts a soft glow across the wings and throws their shape into the shadows. Left unlit, it still earns its place among pumpkins, skulls and autumn leaves on a spooky shelf display, and the black finish sits happily with orange, purple or silver decorations. It makes a fun Halloween gift too, ready to use the moment it comes out of the paper.
The holder is made from metal with a matt black finish over the wings, cup, stem and base. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it over with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the finish looking even. As with any candle holder, stand it on a flat, steady surface away from curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. In the evening, we like it with a black or deep red candle, the flame sitting just above the wings; as a gift, it needs little more than tissue paper and a Halloween card.
