Know before you buy
The Balustre Candle Holder is specifically designed to accommodate pillar candles. Given its architectural stature, it works best with candles that have a substantial base.
No, each piece is unique. Because the item is handcrafted from black terracotta and finished with a hand-applied glaze, you should expect slight variations in texture and finish that make your specific holder one-of-a-kind.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The delicate nature of the terracotta and porcelain glaze is best preserved in a controlled indoor environment.
No, the piece arrives fully assembled and ready to display. You can place it directly onto your tabletop as soon as you unbox it.
To maintain the finish, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch or dull the lustrous white glaze.
