Know before you buy
This holder is designed specifically for standard taper candles. It is also fully compatible with LED flameless taper candles if you prefer a low-maintenance, fire-free option.
No, the Abacus Taper Holder is intended for interior use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the bronze finish over time.
The holder is crafted from durable metal with a substantial, over-scaled design, providing a solid and stable base for tabletop placement. Its 5-inch width ensures it remains secure when placed on flat surfaces like mantels or entryway consoles.
The Abacus Taper Holder is sold as a single item. Because of its large 19.5-inch height, it is designed to act as a standalone statement piece or a focal point in a curated display.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the holder down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can strip or scratch the bronze coating.
