Description
This metallic bow candle is shaped like a ribbon tied in a neat knot, with two full loops and two tails hanging down, and the wick set right in the knot at its centre. Its silver finish has a soft shimmer and a fine speckle across every fold, so the creases of the ribbon catch the light from all sides. The surface keeps the gentle puckers and pleats of real fabric. It measures 10cm high, 9.5cm across and 3.5cm deep, a compact size for even a small shelf, and it rests flat with its loops and tails spread out like a bow laid on a parcel.
Because it is so neat, it suits anywhere you want a small touch of silver: along a mantelpiece, beside a place setting on the dining table, on a dressing table or tucked among books on a shelf. Lit, the flame glows warmly in the middle of the knot and brings the folds around it to life; unlit, it is a pretty silver ornament in its own right, so it earns its place between evenings too. It makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who loves a silver accent at home or a little shimmer by candlelight.
The silver finish runs over the whole bow, from the tips of the loops to the ends of the tails, with the knot gathered in raised folds around the wick. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators. When you light it, stand it on a flat, stable surface clear of anything that could catch, trim the wick before each lighting, keep it away from draughts, children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For a finishing touch, set it unlit beside a wrapped present so the bow on the box has a twin.
