Description
This candle holder is a small sculpture: three U-shaped bands of stoneware sit one inside the next, and the outer band rises into two upright stems, each with an opening at the top for a candle. The bands are gently uneven, so they ripple rather than run dead straight, and the whole surface is plated silver to a mirror shine that throws back candlelight and picks up whatever stands near it. It is 18.5cm long, 7cm wide and 17.5cm tall and weighs 0.8KG, so it reads as a proper piece on a table while staying slim enough for a narrow ledge.
That slim depth makes it a good fit for a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a narrow shelf, and its length suits the middle of a coffee table or a dining table when you want candlelight without clutter. Lit, the two flames sit at either end of the arch and frame the curves between them; unlit, the outline holds its own as an ornament on a console table, a sideboard or a bookcase. It suits a modern or minimalist room, where the silver adds a cool, reflective note beside pale walls, natural wood and marble, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday present for anyone who loves an evening by candlelight.
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, with the silver applied as a plated finish. It is not dishwasher safe, so clean it by hand, and it is not suitable for the microwave or the oven either. The holder comes on its own and the candles are not included, so you will want a pair of your own. For styling, slim taper candles of matching height keep the two flames level and let the arches stay the focus, and placing it beside pale stone or light wood lets the plated surface pick up their warmth, which stops the silver from feeling cold.
