Description
This gold resin candle holder takes the form of the Hufflepuff badger from Harry Potter, sculpted in 3D and standing up on its hind legs with one paw raised. A fluted candle cup sits on its head, finished with a beaded collar, and the badger stands on a round pedestal base wrapped with a scroll banner that reads HUFFLEPUFF. The gold finish has darker shading worked into the fur, the face and the fluting, so the detail reads clearly from across a room. It stands 21cm tall, 8cm across and 8cm deep, a slim footprint that sits on a narrow shelf or mantelpiece.
We think it suits a bookcase, a mantelpiece, a desk or a dressing table, anywhere a single candle adds a little warmth at the end of the day. It looks at home among old hardbacks and framed prints, and the gold tone glows against dark painted walls as well as pale ones. With the house name on the front and the badger standing proud above it, this is a piece for a reading corner, a study or a bedroom shelf, and it sits well beside other gold-toned accessories you already own.
The holder is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the fur, the fluted cup and the scroll well. It is freestanding on its flat, flared base, so it needs no fixing and sits on any steady surface. Fit one candle firmly and upright in the cup, keep it clear of curtains and anything that can catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. To keep it looking its best, dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed, then dry it; harsh cleaners can dull a gold finish. Paired with a tall candle in deep amber or black, it makes a thoughtful gift that brings the badger straight onto a favourite shelf.
