The inspiration for this ancient candlestick was the World Heritage Cathedral at Modena, Italy. Its elaborate hand carved design and antiqued paint in deep blue and grey/off-white colours, evokes the classic 17th century Italian style.
Use a stout church candle and let it drip in the traditional way and you will add to its historical character.
Place them in pairs on a dining or kitchen table or a living room mantelpiece, or a bedroom dressing table or singularly on a window sill to lend a feeling of grandeur and antiquity to the room.
