Know before you buy
These holders are designed to accommodate most standard-sized taper candles. Because they are hand-forged, the fit may be snug, so you may need to gently twist the candle or shave the base slightly for a perfectly secure fit.
Yes, the holders feature a weighted round base made of durable cast iron. This design provides a low center of gravity, ensuring they remain stable on flat surfaces like dining tables or mantels.
To maintain the black finish, simply wipe the holders with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the metal or dull the matte texture.
While cast iron is heat-resistant, the metal can become warm if a candle burns all the way down to the base. We recommend using these on a heat-safe surface or ensuring you extinguish the candle before the flame reaches the metal.
Because each piece is hand-forged by artisans, there may be very slight variations in the texture and dimensions. This is a hallmark of the handcrafted process and ensures that every holder has its own unique character.
