What customers say

The natural stone variations make each piece unique while providing a sophisticated weight that ensures stability.

Know before you buy
Because each piece is hand-carved from natural fossilized marble, the veining, speckling, and color intensity will vary from piece to piece. You can expect your holder to be a one-of-a-kind artifact with its own unique stone patterns.
The Toulouse holder is designed to fit any standard taper candle. For the best aesthetic and stability, we recommend using tapers that are 12 inches in length or shorter.
The scalloped cup is designed to catch drips, but if wax does accumulate, gently scrape it off with a soft plastic tool to avoid scratching the stone. You can then wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth.
This piece is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, and direct sunlight may affect the natural marble finish over time.
No special sealing is required. Simply wipe the holder with a damp cloth as needed to keep it clean and maintain its natural luster.
