Know before you buy
The wax-casting process creates a unique, organic texture that feels more artisanal and tactile than standard industrial iron. It results in a matte, slightly rugged finish that gives the piece its sculptural, heavy-duty character.
The design is intended to accumulate wax for a lived-in look, but if you prefer to clean it, use a gentle hand wash with warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which could damage the iron's finish.
Yes, the robust iron construction provides a solid, weighted base that keeps the candlestick stable. Its 19-inch height makes it a substantial centerpiece, so it is best placed on a flat, level surface like a dining table or mantle.
While the iron is durable, it is best kept in a dry environment to maintain its integrity. If you live in a particularly humid climate, ensure the piece is kept away from direct moisture to prevent oxidation.
While it is a sturdy piece, it is designed primarily for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain or high humidity may cause the iron to rust or degrade over time.
