Description
This candle holder is a single loop of white stoneware tied into a soft knot, ending in two cups for slim taper candles. One cup stands higher than the other, so the two flames burn at different heights and the pair looks relaxed rather than formal. It measures 12.1cm long, 10.5cm wide and 10cm tall, compact enough for a narrow shelf, a mantelpiece or the end of a sideboard, while still giving you two candles from one holder.
We like it on a sideboard or a coffee table, where a pair of tapers brings warm, low light to a living room on a dark evening. It suits a pale, pared-back room and a busier, more colourful one equally, and the rounded form keeps it from looking stiff beside books, plants or framed prints. With no candles in it, the knot still reads as a small sculpture, so it can stay out on a shelf between uses. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves candlelight, because it feels more like an object chosen with care than a standard candlestick.
The holder is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and weighs 0.45KG, so it feels solid and substantial in the hand rather than light and flimsy. Its white surface has a soft sheen and the odd small fleck, which gives the curves depth when candlelight falls across them. The styling props shown are not included, so have two slim taper candles ready before it arrives. For a simple styling note, choose tapers in two related shades, set the taller one in the higher cup, and give the knot a little space of its own on the sideboard so its shape can be seen from every side.

Frequently Asked
What is the candle holder made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and it weighs 0.45KG, so it feels solid and substantial in the hand.
How big is it?
It is 12.1cm long, 10.5cm wide and 10cm tall, small enough for a bookshelf, a coffee table or the end of a sideboard.
How many candles does it hold?
It holds two candles, one in each of its cups, and the cups sit at different heights so the flames are staggered rather than level.
Are the candles included?
No. The styling props shown are not included, so you will need two slim taper candles of your own to use it.
