Description
This gold resin candle holder brings the Slytherin snake of Harry Potter to life in three dimensions, coiled around a slim column that rises to a single candle cup. The serpent winds up from a bell-shaped base, its body covered in fine raised scales, and lifts its head clear of the column with its eyes picked out, as though keeping watch over the flame. Above it, a beaded collar and a scalloped band lead into a fluted cup. On the front of the base, a scroll banner carries the word Slytherin, with a curled S on either side. The whole piece stands 20cm tall and 8.5cm wide and deep, finished in warm gold all over.
It is sized for a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a bookshelf or a desk, where a single candle gives a soft glow without taking over the space. On a dining table it makes a fine centrepiece for a house-themed evening, and on a study shelf it sits happily among books and keepsakes all year round. A green or black candle picks up the Slytherin colours, while an ivory one keeps the look gentle against the gold. With a base just 8.5cm across, it finds room on a narrow shelf.
The holder is made from resin, which holds every scale, bead and flute of the detail crisply, and the gold finish runs over the snake, the column, the cup and the base alike, so it looks like one piece from every side. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Stand it on a flat, steady surface, keep the flame clear of draughts and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Wrapped with a candle of your choice, it makes a thoughtful gift that is ready to light as soon as it is opened.
