Description
This black metal candle holder brings the bats out for Halloween, with a single candle cup set between a pair of wide, outstretched bat wings and a second, smaller pair spread across the stem beneath them. Each wing is shaped with ribbed veins and scalloped edges, so the piece reads as a crisp night-time silhouette before the candle is even lit. It is made from metal with a matt black finish all over, and stands 30cm tall, 20cm across and 8cm deep, on a slim upright stem rising from a flat round base.
We think it looks its best on a Halloween mantelpiece, a sideboard or the middle of a dining table set for a spooky supper, where the wings throw a striking shape against the wall once the candle is burning. At 8cm deep it sits happily on a narrow shelf or a hallway console, and the slender stem lifts the flame well above the clutter of pumpkins and party plates. It makes a thoughtful little Halloween gift for the friend who hosts the best parties every October, or for anyone whose taste runs to gothic, moody black decor. Because it is plain matt black with no orange or seasonal colours, it is just as at home on a dark bookcase long after the night itself has passed.
The matt black finish keeps the look soft rather than shiny, letting the outline of the wings do the talking. To keep it looking good, dust it with a soft dry cloth and, if needed, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Never leave a lit candle unattended, keep it clear of curtains and anything that might catch, and stand it on a stable, level surface. For the most dramatic effect, fit a black or deep red candle and light it as the evening draws in.
