Description
Our gold iron candle holder is shaped as a low spray of slender leaves and round berries, with a single cup towards one end to hold one candle. It measures 18cm long, 13cm wide and 5cm tall and weighs 0.15KG, so it lies close to the surface and leaves all the height to the candle. The gold is uneven and aged rather than polished, with a soft, worn look across the leaves and berries. That gives it the feel of a Christmas decoration that has come out of the box every December for years.
Because the cup sits towards one end and the leaves sweep away to the side, it suits a long, narrow spot: down the middle of the Christmas table, along a sideboard, on a windowsill or at the end of a shelf beside a pile of books. It takes a tall, slim dinner candle, so each holder gives one point of light. Set several in a line and the leaves start to read as a trailing garland. At only 5cm tall it never blocks the view across the table, which matters when everyone is gathered round for a long evening.
It is made from 100% iron, a strong metal that holds thin, fine shapes well, which is why the leaves can be so slim and the berries so neatly rounded. The cup has a small turned-out rim, and the stems branch out flat so the whole spray lies low. At 0.15KG it is light enough to move from the hall table to the dining room as the evening goes on. For the simplest look, choose a plain dinner candle in a soft, earthy shade and tuck a sprig of fresh fir or holly beside it on the table; the styling props shown are not included.
