Kensington Townhouse Candle Holder

Light a candle inside this Kensington Townhouse holder and the rough nickel finish on the aluminium frame shifts from cool and utilitarian to something almost atmospheric. The texture catches the glow in a way that a smooth polished surface simply wouldn’t — it’s the sort of piece that repays looking at closely.

The glass sits neatly within the frame, and the ring-shaped handle makes it easy to carry from mantelpiece to dinner table to a garden terrace on a still evening. Part of the Kensington Townhouse collection, it layers well alongside the three-light lantern and other metal pieces from the range.
