Description
This is a single candle holder made entirely of marble, 8cm across and 12.5cm tall, in a green stone flecked and veined with paler mineral. Its profile is the traditional one of a candlestick: a flared cup with a rolled rim at the top, a narrow waist, a rounded swell through the middle and a stepped foot that spreads at the base. At 0.98KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand for something so compact, and it feels settled wherever it stands. Because marble is a natural stone, the veining varies from one piece to the next, so yours will carry its own markings.
It is made for one candle, and its low height suits places where a tall candlestick would look out of scale: a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill, the centre of a dining table or a bookshelf with little room overhead. Set beside taller holders, it gives a line of candlelight along a sideboard a weighty, grounded end. The green stone sits comfortably with warm wood, brass, linen and plaster walls, and it brings a quiet note of colour to a neutral room. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone furnishing a first home, or for a host who likes to lay a proper table for guests.
The surface is polished, which brings out the depth of the green and the movement of the veining, and gives the stone a smooth, gently reflective finish. Marble is a natural and somewhat porous stone, so it can mark if liquids or acids are left sitting on its surface. The candles and other styling props shown are not included. For a simple display, stand it on a linen runner or a small tray with a slim taper candle, and let the narrow flame above the green stone carry the look.
