Ozamis Metal Candle Holder 28.5cm - Black

The Ozamis is a metal candle holder in black, shaped like an hourglass: two plain cylinders meet at a narrow waist, each with a crisp step where it narrows. It stands 28.5cm tall and 10cm in diameter, and the top is open, so your candle sits down inside a cylindrical cup with a neat, rounded rim. The black has a matt, finely grained surface that soaks up light rather than reflecting it, which keeps the eye on the flame and gives the whole piece a soft, almost velvety look.

It is a piece for indoors: a mantelpiece, a dining table, a sideboard or a wide windowsill. At 28.5cm it lifts a candle well clear of plates and glasses on a laid table, while the slim 10cm diameter means it takes up little room on a narrow shelf or a crowded mantel. Black sits happily in almost any scheme. Against white walls and pale wood it gives a crisp outline; against darker paint it reads more as shape and texture than colour. Use a pair at either end of a mantelpiece for a balanced look, or set one among a cluster of candles at different heights so the arrangement has a clear tallest point.

It is made of metal and weighs 0.7KG, so it has a reassuring heft in the hand and feels substantial rather than flimsy. Metal is hard-wearing, which suits a piece that will be handled and moved around the house. The matt black covers the outside from base to rim, and the inside of the cup is black too, so it looks finished from every angle. As a practical note, measure the space before you choose a candle: the holder alone stands 28.5cm tall, so check that the candle you add will clear any shelf or cupboard overhead.
