Description
These three Christmas candle holders are shaped as small folk-style horses, and each carries its own hand-painted design. One has a row of hearts down its neck, a sprig of greenery, a horn tied with a bow and a pair of candy canes; the next is scattered with snowflakes around the words 'let it snow'; the third wears a folk pattern of birds, leaves, hearts and a central snowflake. They are made from a blend of 55% polyresin and 45% wollastonite, a natural mineral. Polyresin is cast in a mould, so it takes the faceted, carved look of each horse cleanly. Each holder is 9.5cm long, 4.5cm wide and 10cm tall, small enough to stand three abreast on a narrow shelf.
A candle stands upright in the opening on each horse's back, so together they make a low, cheerful centrepiece for a Christmas table, a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill. Grouped, they read as a small herd; set apart, one can sit on a hall console, another on a bookshelf and the third among the cards on a sideboard. They suit anyone who likes a homely, folk-inspired Christmas, and they make an easy gift for a host or a new home.
Every detail is painted by hand, and hand painting leaves small differences in the brushwork, so each horse has a little character of its own. The listed weight is 0.6KG, light enough to lift from a high shelf and move from room to room as the decorations change. The styling props shown are not included, candles among them, so choose candles that sit snugly in the openings; plain twisted candles let the painted patterns stand out against the multicoloured horses, and a sprig of greenery laid between them finishes the scene.
