Sculptural holders grown in electroformed copper and brass in bark, root, spiral and abstract forms, made for pillar and taper candles. The metal is built up over a form until the shape stands on its own, so the walls are uneven and the shadow the piece throws on a wall is half of what you are buying. Gold, silver or antique finish. Set one on a saucer or a stone coaster if you are burning a candle that drips, and lift hardened wax off the metal rather than scraping it.

Frequently asked questions

Do these take pillar candles or tapers?

Both, depending on the design. Tea lights have their own group, since the holders for them are shaped differently.

How do I get wax off an electroformed holder?

Let it harden and lift it away, helping it with a fingernail or a wooden stick. Do not use a blade or a hot knife on the metal.

Does the metal get hot while a candle burns?

Yes, metal carries heat. Let a holder cool before you move it, and keep it off a bare wooden surface while it is lit.

Are two holders of the same design identical?

No. The form is grown by hand, so the thickness and the run of the surface differ between pieces.
