Description
This black candle holder is made of 100% polyresin and shaped as a kneeling female figure who raises both arms overhead, a cup in each hand, so it carries two candles at once. The figure is pared back rather than detailed, with a simple rounded head, softly curved hips and a rough, grainy texture over every surface. She kneels on a flat rectangular base, and the whole piece is 18cm long, 11cm wide and 23cm tall, which places the two candles at the very top and gives it the presence of a small sculpture on the evenings it stays unlit. It weighs 0.64KG.
Its natural place is the living room, where a pair of candles earns its keep on a windowsill, a console table against the wall or a shelf. A footprint of 18cm by 11cm fits a narrow sill or ledge without crowding it, and the height lets the figure read clearly among lower vases, bowls and books. It suits anyone who likes a figurative piece among plainer ceramics and glass, and the black holds its own against pale walls, sheer curtains and natural wood. Lit, the two flames bring a gentle glow to a quiet evening; unlit, the kneeling pose and the raised arms carry the interest by themselves.
The composition is 100% polyresin, so every part of it, from the base to the two cups, is the same material. Polyresin is a cast resin, which is why it can carry a fine, grainy texture across curved forms such as these arms and hips. The finish is a matt black with no shine, so it sits quietly beside wood, glass and textured ceramics rather than competing with them. The styling props shown are not included, and that includes the candles. For the neatest look, choose two plain candles of matching height so the two flames sit level and the figure stays the focus.
