Description
This tall candle holder is made entirely of mango wood, turned into a slender column that swells towards its lower half and finishes in a stack of ridged collars at the top and the foot. A shallow, rimmed round top holds a pillar candle, and a broad, flat base carries the whole piece. It is 12cm long, 12cm wide and 31cm tall and weighs 0.75KG, so it has real presence on a shelf yet is light enough to move from room to room whenever needed. The colour is natural: the wood is left unpainted, with its grain on show from top to base.
At 31cm this is a holder for height. On a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a hallway console it lifts the flame well clear of the surface, and down the middle of a dining table it gives the setting a tall point of light. It looks its best in a group with lower holders, the taller pieces at the back and the shorter ones in front, so the flames step down at different heights. The plain mango suits a relaxed, rustic room as readily as a pared-back modern one, and it is as much at home on a windowsill through the winter months as on a low table for summer evenings in a garden room. For the festive season it earns its place among evergreen sprigs and books.
The profile is turned, with ridged collars beneath the top and above the base, and the wood keeps its natural colour with the grain visible along the column. Mango is a hardwood with a lively grain, so no two pieces look quite the same, and the markings in the surface are part of the material rather than flaws. The styling props shown are not included. For a dinner party, tie a velvet ribbon around the neck and let the ends trail down the column.
