Description
This double votive candle holder sets two frosted cups in a low bed of pine cones and mixed green foliage, ready to bring a woodland feel to the Christmas table. Around the cones sit sprigs of fine green leaves, frosted green fruits, snowy white berries and a few soft grey-blue ones, with cream berry stems at one end. The colouring is green and white over the warm brown of the cones, gentle enough to sit with most festive schemes. It measures 31.5cm long, 13.5cm deep and 8cm high, so it lies long and low.
Its long, slim shape suits the middle of a dining table, where it stays low enough for everyone to see and talk across it, and it sits just as well along a mantelpiece, sideboard or deep windowsill. At 13.5cm deep it leaves room on a narrow shelf or hall table for cards and other greenery. With a candle in each cup, the glow is shared evenly from end to end, so the arrangement looks balanced from either side of the room. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift to bring when visiting, and an easy way to dress the house for the season without fuss.
The cones, leaves and berries are gathered around the two cups, which sit low in the arrangement and each take one votive candle. Frosted cups soften the flame and spread a gentle light through the greenery. Keep flames clear of the foliage, never leave a burning candle unattended, and let the cups cool before you lift out what is left of a candle. Now and then, dust the cones and leaves with a soft dry brush or cloth, and wipe the cups with a damp cloth once they are cool. For a fuller table, lay a few loose cones or sprigs of greenery either side and add a pair of white candles to pick up the berries.
