Know before you buy
The Ball Taper Candle Holders are sold individually, allowing you to mix and match the three available heights to create a custom arrangement.
This holder is designed specifically for standard taper candles. Because the iron is hand-forged, you may want to ensure your taper has a standard base diameter for a secure fit.
The oiled-metal finish is intended to provide a rustic, authentic look. You can maintain it by occasionally wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the finish.
No, these holders are designed for indoor use only. The natural oiled-metal finish is not treated for exterior weather conditions and may rust if exposed to moisture.
While the base is sturdy and stable, it is made of raw, forged iron. If you are placing it on a delicate surface, we recommend using a small felt pad or coaster underneath to prevent potential scratching.
Because each piece is hand-forged by blacksmiths, there may be slight variations in the texture and exact dimensions. This artisanal process ensures that every candle holder has a unique character.
