Description
This candle holder takes the form of a little oak tree, its trunk rising from a round, stepped foot and branching into tiers of oak leaves hung with clusters of acorns. A flared cup at the top, finished with a wide rim, gives a pillar candle a place to sit. It is made from resin, a polystone, and finished all over in a shiny gold, with the veins of each leaf and the caps of the acorns picked out in the moulding. It stands 30cm tall, 15cm across and 13.5cm deep, a good height to lift a candle above the plates and glasses on a dinner table.
We think of it first as a Christmas piece. Set on the dining table as a centrepiece, on the mantelpiece or on a sideboard, it brings a touch of the woodland indoors for the festive season, and the warm gold sits happily among the reds, greens and golds of traditional Christmas decorations. Because its design is drawn from the oak rather than holly or snowflakes, it is just as at home on a hall table or bookcase once the tree comes down. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a traditionally dressed home.
The trunk, leaves and acorns rise from a broad round base, so the holder stands freely on a flat surface with no fixing needed. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, using a soft brush to reach between the leaves, and wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth if it needs more; harsh cleaners can dull a gold finish. As with any candle, never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it clear of curtains, greenery and anything else that could catch. For the fullest look, choose a cream or ivory pillar candle and set a few baubles around the foot.
