Description
This is a pair of iron candle holders in black, one 18cm tall and the other 20cm tall, each 6cm across. Each has a deep, narrow cup on a slim stem that rises from a round, flat base. The stem is closely wound from base to cup in a fine spiral wrap, which gives the slender line a change of texture between the black cup and the black base. The two heights are the point: side by side, the candles finish at different levels, which looks more relaxed than a matched pair. The cup is shaped for a slim taper candle.
They suit the centre of a dining table, where the difference in height reads clearly and neither holder looks out of place. They sit just as well on a sideboard or a shelf, grouped with vases, a few books or a small tray of tealight holders. Each holder is only 6cm across, so the pair takes up very little room, which helps on a narrow console or a crowded side table. Black works with almost any scheme, from pale walls and light wood to darker, moodier rooms, and the wound stems bring texture to a mix of glass and ceramics.
Both holders are 100% iron, finished in black, and the surface has a slightly uneven, textured look rather than a polished one. Iron is a dense metal, so even a slim holder made from it feels solid; the weight given is 0.7KG. Iron can rust if it stays damp, so these are best kept in a dry room. For styling, choose two slim candles in the same shade for a calm look, or two contrasting shades for something livelier, and set the taller holder a little behind the shorter one so both flames stay in view.
