Description
This low travertine candle holder is a round disc of soft brown stone, made to hold a single tea light in the cup at its centre. It measures 10cm across and 2.5cm deep, so it sits close to the surface and keeps the candle low. The top slopes softly outward from the cup to a rounded rim, and the stone is marked all over with small natural pits and hollows in warm tan tones, giving it the quiet, textured look travertine is loved for. It is a simple shape, and we think that is the point: the stone does the talking.
At 10cm across it is compact enough for a coffee table, a bookshelf, a bedside table or the end of a mantelpiece, and low enough to sit on a dining table without getting in the way. Its brown tones sit beside natural wood, linen and cream walls. Light a tea light as the evening draws in and the glow picks out the texture of the stone around the cup; by day, unlit, it sits happily as a small piece of natural stone on a shelf. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes a calm, candlelit corner at home.
The holder sits on a narrower base beneath the disc, so it rests freely on any flat, level surface with nothing to fix or hang. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth or wipe with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry; harsh or acidic cleaners are best avoided, as they can mark natural stone. If wax spills, let it harden before lifting it away gently. As with any candle, never leave a burning tea light unattended, and keep it clear of anything that could catch. Set it where daylight falls across the stone so its texture shows, or wrap it in tissue for a small, considered present.
