Description
Our Salia Advent candle holder is a flat red cut-out shaped as a large heart. It has curling scrolls inside it, a small solid heart at its centre and an open loop at either side. Four small candle cups sit along the top: two on the rounded lobes of the heart and one at the tip of each outer loop, so the candles stand in a gentle arc. It is made of 98% MDF and 2% iron, finished in red lacquer, and measures 36cm long, 6cm wide and 25cm tall, weighing 0.53KG.
An Advent candle holder has a place for each of the four Sundays before Christmas, and this one gives the countdown a heart at its centre on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or the dining table. At 6cm from front to back it fits narrow places that a wider centrepiece cannot, such as a windowsill, a hall console or the ledge of a bookshelf. The 36cm length sits along a mantelpiece without crowding it, and at 25cm tall the heart shape is easy to read from across the room. It suits a household that likes to mark each week of Advent, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to decorate for Christmas.
The shape is cut from MDF, a dense, smooth board that takes a coloured finish evenly. The red lacquer covers the face, the cut edges, the cups and the base alike. It stands on a solid rectangular base block, so it is freestanding on a flat surface and needs no wall fixing. The open scrollwork lets the wall or window behind show through. For styling, use four candles of the same height at the start of Advent. Each week's candle is lit in turn, so they burn down to different heights, and the stepped line they make across the heart becomes part of the countdown.
