Description
This washed wood star tealight candle holder brings a soft, coastal feel to any surface. Cut into a clean five-point star and finished in a pale white wash, it lets the natural grain show through the paint, so no two pieces look quite the same. The distressed, lightly weathered surface suits a relaxed British interior and reads well against both painted and bare wood furniture. Standing 10cm tall and measuring 8cm across, it holds a single standard tealight in its central well, casting a gentle glow through the evening.
We designed this candle holder to be easy to place and easy to group. A single star works on a windowsill, a mantel or a bedside table, while a small run of two or three along a dining table or shelf builds a quiet, layered look. It sits happily among ceramics, dried stems and stacked books, and the white wash keeps things light rather than heavy. Because the form is flat-backed and stable, it stays put on uneven surfaces and does not crowd the space around it. Candle holders like this are useful year-round, but the star shape earns its keep through the darker months.
Care is straightforward. Use a well-fitted tealight, either in a metal cup or a glass sleeve, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Wipe the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth and avoid soaking it, as timber and water do not mix. Lift away any spilled wax once cool. Kept dry and out of direct sun, the washed finish holds its colour for years.

Frequently Asked
What is it made from?
It is made from wood with a pale white wash finish, so the natural grain stays visible beneath the paint for a lightly weathered, tactile look.
What type of candle does it take?
It holds a single standard tealight in the central well. We suggest using a tealight in its own metal cup or a glass sleeve for a clean burn.
Where does it look best?
Try it on a windowsill, mantel, bedside table or shelf. Grouping two or three along a table gives a layered display, while one on its own keeps things simple.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth and avoid soaking the wood. Let any spilled wax cool fully before lifting it away, and keep the holder out of standing water.
Will it stay stable in use?
Yes. The flat base gives it a steady footing on most surfaces, and the low 10cm height keeps the centre of gravity down.
