Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The delicate leaded crystal is best showcased in a controlled environment to maintain its luster and prevent damage.
To preserve the clarity and hand-cut details, gently hand-wash the piece with lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, and always dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
No assembly is required. The Tommy Photophore arrives as a single, finished piece ready to be placed on your tabletop.
Given its 4.7-inch height, this photophore is designed to hold a standard tea light or a small votive candle. We recommend using a high-quality, unscented wax to ensure the flame does not interfere with the crystal's brilliance.
Yes, the leaded crystal construction provides a substantial, weighted feel that ensures the piece remains stable on flat surfaces like dining tables or consoles.
