Sicilia Marble Candle Holder 15.5cm - Green

This candle holder is made from 100% marble in green, with a polished finish that brings out the movement in the stone. Its profile is what gives it character: a flared cup at the top, a rounded collar at the waist, and a gently rounded shoulder that drops into a straight column. It stands 15.5cm tall and 8cm across, and at 1.1KG it has real heft for something so compact. Marble is a natural stone, so the lighter veins and darker flecks run differently through every piece, and no two holders look quite alike.

It holds a single tall candle, so it suits a dining table, a mantelpiece or a sideboard, where a slim taper can rise well above the stone. It sits just as comfortably on a deep windowsill, a bookshelf or a hall console. The green works beautifully in rooms with painted walls, patterned papers and warm wood, and it looks equally at home in a plain, pale scheme, where the stone draws the eye. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming present for anyone who loves natural materials around the home.

The polished finish leaves the surface smooth to the touch, with a soft sheen that catches candlelight in the evening. Its 1.1KG weight gives it a settled, substantial feel on a shelf or table, the kind of weight you expect from real stone. Because each piece is natural marble, the veining on yours will be its own, which is part of its appeal. The candles and other styling props shown are not included. For a fuller arrangement, group it with plain ceramic pots and a few pieces of different heights, or buy a pair and stand one at each end of a mantelpiece; a candle in a warm, soft shade sits beautifully against the green stone.
