Water Lily Brushed Brass Taper Candle Holder

A single taper candle holder in solid brass with a brushed brass finish.

What it is: A hand-formed holder with a gently flared profile inspired by the symmetry of a water lily.

Why it matters: The soft curves suit minimalist rooms and layered styling alike, and the brushed surface gives a calm, matte glow.

How it works: Set a standard taper candle in the top. The flared form holds it securely, and the brass catches the flame.

When to use it: Daily on a dining table, a console, or a shelf. 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 Cubo Facet is a squared, faceted brass block. The Serpentine is a curving stem in burnished 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.
