Kensington Townhouse Small Silver Candle Holder

There’s something pleasing about a handcrafted object that makes no attempt to hide its making. This small candle holder, turned from aluminium and finished in ground nickel, has a fluted, slightly scratched surface that gives the nickel sheen real depth — it catches light at different angles rather than reflecting it flatly. The tapering form rises to a circular platform sized for a pillar candle.

On a mantelpiece, console table, or bedside surface, it works as a considered finishing touch — the kind of accessory that brings a display together without overwhelming it. It groups well with others of varying heights, and the nickel tone sits naturally alongside silver, gold, and warm-toned metals alike.
