Description
This is a set of two marble candle holders, each a solid piece of marble shaped into a low, flowing wave. The longer holder is 25cm long, 4cm wide and 10cm tall, rising into a curved arch with an open loop at one end; the shorter is 15cm long, 4cm wide and 7cm tall, with a small dip before its rounded crest. Along their tops, the longer piece takes three slim taper candles and the shorter takes two, so together they make a long, low line of flame along a narrow base. The grey marble carries soft, cloudy veining across every face.
At just 4cm wide, they suit the places where a wide candelabra will not fit: a slim mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf edge or the middle of a dining table where plates and glasses need the room. Set them end to end and the two curves read as one continuous wave; split them, and the longer holder can anchor a sideboard while the shorter sits on a coffee table or bedside table. They suit anyone who likes candlelight at dinner but wants an object that still looks considered when no candle is lit. They also make a fine housewarming or birthday gift.
Each holder has a polished finish, which brings up the depth in the veining and gives the stone a soft sheen. Marble is a natural stone, so the pattern varies from piece to piece and no two sets carry quite the same markings. Marble is also dense, and at 2.6KG for the set these holders have real heft for their size. The set is the two marble holders alone; the styling props shown, candles among them, are not included. For styling, we like them on a dark wood or painted surface, where the marbling reads clearly, with plain tapers to keep the line of the wave clean.
