Description
Zaina is an iron candle holder shaped like a flowering twig. A slender stem rises from a textured base, branches in two and ends in a pair of flower-shaped cups set at different heights, with painted leaves along the way and a small bird perched on a side shoot. It is made entirely of iron, stands 29.5cm tall, 15cm long and 9.5cm wide, and weighs 0.92KG. The finish is painted by hand in a multicoloured scheme with a speckled, softly worn look, so it reads more like a garden ornament than a piece of plain metalwork.
The two cups take taper candles, and because one sits higher than the other, a pair of the same length still burns at staggered heights, which looks relaxed rather than formal. With 29.5cm of height before any candle is added, it holds its own on a dining table, a sideboard or a mantelpiece, while its narrow 9.5cm width lets it fit a windowsill or the end of a side table beside the sofa. It suits a country kitchen, a spring table setting, or anyone who likes botanical pieces with small details worth a closer look.
Iron gives the piece its strength, and the hand-painted finish covers the stem, the leaves, the flower cups and the bird alike. Iron can rust if it stays damp, which makes this a piece for a dry room indoors rather than an outdoor table. The candles and the other styling props shown are not included. For styling, let the twig shape lead: pair it with plain tapers in a soft neutral shade so the multicoloured flowers and bird stay the focus, and leave a little space around it so the branching outline reads clearly against a wall or a window.

Frequently Asked
What material is the Zaina candle holder?
It is made of 100% iron, with a finish painted by hand in a multicoloured scheme across the stem, the leaves, the flower cups and the little bird.
How big is it?
It stands 29.5cm tall, 15cm long and 9.5cm wide, and it weighs 0.92KG, so it is a substantial piece for a table, a mantelpiece or a windowsill.
How many candles does it hold?
It has two flower-shaped cups set at different heights, so it holds two taper candles, one standing higher than the other.
Are the candles included?
No. The candles shown are styling props and are not included, so you will need two taper candles of your own.
Is it painted by hand?
Yes. The finish is handpainted, which gives the flowers, the leaves and the bird a speckled, softly worn look rather than a flat, even coat.
