Description
This wooden star tealight candle holder brings a soft, pared-back charm to the home. Cut into a five-point star and finished in a washed white, it carries a gently weathered look where the paint settles into the grain and lets the natural texture of the wood show through. Standing 13cm tall and 12cm wide, it holds a single tealight at its centre, casting a warm glow that catches the raised edges of the star shape.
The washed finish suits a relaxed, coastal or country feel, and it works just as well in a more contemporary room where you want a little warmth and texture. Group two or three together across a mantel or windowsill, or set one alongside foliage and a few pebbles for a simple tabletop arrangement. It sits happily on a shelf, a bedside table or a dresser, and the pale tone means it blends with most palettes rather than fighting them. As one of our candle holders, it earns its place through quiet character rather than fuss.
Made from wood, it is best kept indoors and away from prolonged damp, which helps the washed finish hold its colour. Always use a tealight in its metal cup and never leave a burning candle unattended. Wipe the surface with a dry or barely damp cloth to lift dust, avoiding harsh sprays that could mark the paint. With a little care this candle holder will keep its lived-in look for years.

Frequently Asked
What is it made from?
It is made from wood with a washed white paint finish, so the natural grain shows softly through the colour for a weathered, textured look.
How should I style it?
Set it on a mantel, shelf or windowsill, either on its own or grouped with two or three more. It pairs nicely with foliage, pebbles or a simple runner for a relaxed table display.
What size candle does it take?
It is designed for a standard tealight, which sits in the central well. At 13cm tall and 12cm wide it makes a nice mid-sized piece among a run of candle holders.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh cleaners or soaking, as these can mark the washed finish.
Can I use it outdoors?
It is intended for indoor use. Keeping it away from damp helps protect the wood and preserve the pale finish.
