What customers say
The Bengt & Lotta Squirrel Ironwork Candle Holder earns high praise primarily for its charming design and quality construction. Customers consistently find the piece delightful, noting its sturdy, rustic ironwork aligns perfectly with Scandinavian aesthetics. The unique squirrel motif is a major highlight, successfully bringing personality and a touch of nature indoors. It is frequently chosen as a thoughtful and distinctive gift.

Minor variations inherent to the ironwork are generally accepted as part of its handcrafted appeal. This accessory beautifully merges functional design with artistic flair, resulting in high customer satisfaction.
Know before you buy
The holder is designed to accommodate standard pillar candles. We recommend a candle with a diameter of 3 inches or less to ensure it sits securely on the base without overwhelming the squirrel design.
The piece features an antiqued finish that is intended for indoor use. To maintain the integrity of the iron, keep it away from high-humidity areas like bathrooms or outdoor spaces.
The best method is to gently heat the wax with a hair dryer until it softens, then wipe it away with a soft cloth. Avoid using sharp metal tools, as these can scratch or damage the antiqued finish.
Yes, the iron construction provides a solid, weighted base that sits firmly on flat surfaces. It is designed specifically for tabletop placement, ensuring it remains stable while holding a candle.
The piece is crafted as a figurative silhouette, meaning the design is consistent and visible from both sides. It works beautifully as a centerpiece on a dining table where it can be viewed from multiple angles.
