Because each piece is hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the Sterling Check pattern. This handmade artistry means your candlestick will have unique characteristics that distinguish it from mass-produced items.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The hand-glazed finish and steel construction are best protected from the elements to maintain the integrity of the brass accents and painted surface.
To clean, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which could damage the hand-glazed finish and the brass embellishments.
Yes, it is crafted with a heavy-gauge steel underbody, providing a sturdy, weighted base. This ensures it remains stable on your tabletop even when holding a pillar candle.
