Know before you buy
This candlestick is designed to hold a standard-sized taper candle. Due to variations in taper widths, we recommend using a candle with a snug fit or a small amount of adhesive wax to ensure it stands perfectly straight.
Because each piece is hand-painted, there may be slight variations in the pattern, which is a hallmark of the MacKenzie-Childs aesthetic. This ensures that every candlestick has its own unique character.
Yes, the collection is specifically designed for layering. Mixing the short, medium, and tall versions creates a tiered, dimensional look that works well as a centerpiece or on a mantel.
To maintain the finish, hand-wash the candlestick with mild soap and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the enamel and the bronzed stainless steel rim.
This item is sold as a single candlestick. This allows you to customize your display by choosing the exact number of pieces you need to fit your table or shelf space.
