Peacock Repoussé Brushed Brass Taper Candle Holder

A single candle holder, 2.75" Dia × 2" H, in solid brass with a brushed brass finish and hand-hammered peacock feather repoussé, made for pillar or taper candles.

What it is: A solid brass holder with feather patterns raised from the reverse side by hand.

Why it matters: The peacock stands for beauty, grace, and vision, and the raised detail catches the flame at every angle. Each one is made by hand, so no two are the same.

How it works: A pillar or taper candle sits in the top. The repoussé is hammered from behind, and the brushed finish keeps the surface soft and matte.

When to use it: On a dining table, a shelf, or beside the Peacock & Palms vase. It works for everyday dinners and for special occasions such as weddings, outdoor events, and intimate dinners, and it helps elevate the experience at any of them. It also makes a thoughtful gift for housewarmings, weddings, and other special occasions.

What alternatives exist: The Fluted Base holder is the same size in stainless steel. The Foliage Repoussé pair has folk art leaves in antique brass.

Care: Brass needs careful care and changes color over time. That is natural oxidation, and many people value the patina. Dust with a soft cloth. To clean, use a soft cloth dampened with mild dish soap and warm water, wrung out until damp but not dripping, then a second cloth dampened with plain water, then dry fully. Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, salt, abrasive cleaners, bathroom sprays, or bleach. To restore a tarnished piece, use a dedicated brass polish such as Brasso sparingly, because over-polishing removes the surface treatment. Let wax cool before removing it.
