Know before you buy
This holder is designed to accommodate standard taper candles. Because the piece is hand-forged, you may find a slight variation in the fit, but it is compatible with all industry-standard taper sizes.
Yes, the holder features a weighted, round base specifically designed to keep the slender stem upright. It provides a stable foundation for tabletop use, even with a full-length taper candle.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the holder with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the hand-forged texture and distressed coating.
While each holder is sold individually, the varying heights—12 inches and 20 inches—are designed to be layered. Grouping different sizes together creates a dynamic, tiered look that works well as a centerpiece.
The holder is finished with a protective coating to prevent rust. However, because it is made of hand-forged metal, we recommend keeping it in a dry environment to ensure the longevity of the finish.
