Wire Present Metal Tealight Candle Holder 16.5cm - Silver

This wire tealight candle holder is shaped like a wrapped present, with an open iron frame finished in shiny silver. Slim uprights mark the corners of the box, wavy wire bars run between them, and flat silver bands cross the sides like ribbon before meeting in a looped bow on top. A small round cup sits on the base to hold a single tealight, so the flame glows inside the box and catches the polished metal around it. It stands 16.5cm tall, 7.5cm wide and 7.5cm deep, a compact size that fits on a narrow shelf or windowsill without crowding it.

We see it as a cheerful piece for Christmas. Set it on the mantelpiece, a sideboard or the dining table at the heart of your festive display, or give a hallway console a small point of candlelight to greet guests as they come in. The silver finish sits happily beside glass, white and other metallic decorations, and the open frame lets you see straight through it, so it never feels heavy on a busy festive table. Because the design is a present, it also makes a fitting Christmas gift in its own right, and it tucks easily into a hamper or under the tree.

The frame is iron with a bright silver finish, the bow formed from curled metal strips and the cup set low on the base, close to the surface it stands on. It is freestanding, so it needs no hook or fixing: simply drop in a tealight and light it. To keep the shine, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and let any spilt wax set before lifting it gently away. Stand it on a stable, heatproof surface away from curtains, cards and greenery, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Pair it with white candles and silver baubles for a crisp, wintry look on the mantelpiece.
