Description
Medea is a candle holder cast in polyresin as a classical female figure: a bust in draped robes that leave one shoulder bare, her hair bound with a band, her eyes closed and a faint smile on her lips. One arm reaches up to grip a tall column at her shoulder, and the top of that column takes the candle. It is a small piece, 7cm long, 6.5cm wide and 16cm tall, in white from head to hem, so it reads like a fragment of antique sculpture rather than an ordinary candlestick.
At 16cm tall it suits a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a sideboard or a bedside table, and a slim taper rising from the column carries the line of the raised arm upward. With a footprint of just 7cm by 6.5cm, it fits between books or among vases on a narrow shelf. Set one on the dining table when friends visit, or group it with other white pieces on a hallway console. It suits anyone who loves classical busts and old-world forms in a modern home, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who collects sculptural decoration.
Polyresin is cast in a mould, which lets it hold fine detail, and that shows in the folds of the drapery, the waves of the hair and the fingers wrapped around the column. The piece weighs 0.35KG, so it moves easily from shelf to table whenever the mood takes you. The opening at the top of the column holds a single candle, and the narrow column is made for a slim taper rather than a pillar or a tea light. The styling props shown are not included, so choose your own taper: a warm brown or a soft neutral shade against the white keeps the eye on the sculpted face and the line of the raised arm.

Frequently Asked
What material is the candle holder?
It is cast in 100% polyresin, which holds the fine detail of the face, the hair and the drapery, and the piece weighs 0.35KG.
How big is it?
It is 7cm long, 6.5cm wide and 16cm tall, small enough for a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a bedside table.
What kind of candle does it take?
The column at the figure's shoulder holds a single candle at its top, and its narrow shape is made for a slim taper rather than a pillar or a tea light.
Is a candle included?
No. The candle holder comes on its own, and the styling props shown, the taper candle included, are not part of the order.
What colour is it?
It is white all over, from the top of the column to the folds of the drapery, so it sits quietly beside other pale pieces or stands out against a darker wall.
