The piece

A metal candle holder shaped like an abstract human figure, in five poses.

A playful, sculptural piece in iron: each slender figure holds a small candle cage. It adds character to a shelf, a desk or a console, lit or not.

01How to use it

Which candles fit this figure candle holder?

Each slender metal figure carries a small round candle cage with a 4 cm inner diameter, the size of a standard tealight. Depending on the style you choose, the piece stands from 14 to 31.5 cm high, so you can pick a compact figure for a shelf or a taller one for a console.

Because the flame sits inside an openwork cage, the light throws soft patterns around it. Lit or unlit, it works as a small sculpture.

  • Standard tealights, 4 cm wide
  • Battery tealights for a child's room or a bookshelf
  • Combine two or three styles of different heights
  • Not designed for taper or pillar candles

Questions

What is it made of?

It is made of iron, shaped into a slender abstract figure that holds a small candle cage. The dark metal gives it a sculptural, slightly industrial look that sits well with books, wood and ceramics. It is just as decorative unlit, as a small sculpture on a shelf, as it is in the evening with a tealight glowing inside the cage.

How many styles are there?

There are five poses: standing with the cage on its head, walking with the cage on its head, carrying a lantern, holding the cage in its arms, and a figure on a curved base. They range from about 14 cm to 31.5 cm high depending on the style. Choose one as a single accent, or combine two or three heights to tell a little story along a shelf or a console.

Which candles fit?

The candle cage has an inner diameter of about 4 cm, so it is made for tealights and similar small candles. A battery tealight is a good alternative on a bookshelf or in a child's room. With a real flame, place the figure on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from curtains and paper, and never leave a lit candle unattended.

Where does it look best?

On a bookshelf, a desk or a console, where its silhouette can be seen from the side. It also works on a mantelpiece among books and frames, or beside a small vase or a plant to add a playful, artistic note. Several figures of different heights on a long shelf create a small scene that guests always notice.

How do I clean it?

Dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a small paintbrush to reach the details of the figure. Avoid water and abrasive products, which can mark the finish of the iron. If wax drips onto the cage, let it harden completely, then lift it off gently with your fingernail or a wooden stick rather than a metal blade.

    Between my art books

    I have it on the bookshelf between my art books, and the slim iron figure fits perfectly there. In the evening I put a small candle in the cage and the shadow it throws on the wall is beautiful.

    Gives personality

    Very original candle holder, I put it on the desk of my studio and it gives personality. In the evening with a small candle in the cage it makes a nice shadow on the wall. Really happy with my choice.

    Candle cage is tiny

    Interesting design, but the candle cage is very small and finding a candle that fits is not easy. More decoration than candle holder for me.
