Know before you buy
This piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. While it is made of durable iron, the aged patina finish is best preserved away from the elements.
No assembly is required. The candle holder arrives fully constructed and ready to be placed on your tabletop.
The holder is designed to accommodate standard taper candles. Given its robust, hand-forged nature, it provides a stable base for most traditional candle sizes.
To maintain the finish, simply dust the piece with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the authentic patina.
Because each piece is hand-forged and features an authentic aged patina, you should expect slight variations in texture and color. These unique characteristics are intentional and highlight the artisan blacksmithing process.
