Wooden Number 2 Birthday

A white-washed wooden number 2 candle holder brings a softer kind of celebration to the table, with natural grain showing through the worn, rustic finish. It feels more keepable than paper decorations or balloons, a small marker for a birthday morning, nursery shelf or family display.

What gives it character

• The distressed white finish lets warm brown wood show through, so it feels relaxed rather than polished.
• The rounded, chunky shape has a playful presence, made for birthday styling without looking throwaway.
• A candle recess is set into the top, ready to hold a birthday candle as part of the display.
• The flat base shown in the photo lets it stand neatly on a shelf, mantelpiece or party table.
• After the celebration, it can stay out as a quiet keepsake in a child’s room.

White-washed Albesia wood

It is made from white-washed Albesia wood, a fast-growing timber valued for its visible grain. The finish is deliberately weathered, with darker edges and brushed-looking marks that make each surface feel individual.

How to display and care for it

Place it on a level, stable surface, away from loose fabrics, paper decorations and anything that could catch near a flame. If you use it with a candle, never leave it unattended.

Wipe the wood with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from prolonged damp, as untreated or painted wood can mark or swell with moisture.

A slower way to mark a birthday

Wooden celebration numbers sit between decoration and memory. They give a birthday table a natural centre point, but they do not have to disappear when the day is over. This one is handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia, so small variations in the grain, finish and painted wear are part of its character. The white-washed surface pairs easily with dried flowers, fabric bunting, linen tablecloths and other calm, natural party details.

Common questions

Can it be used directly on a cake?
It is a wooden candle holder and no food-safe finish is specified, so place it beside the cake or on a display surface rather than directly on food.

Will every piece look exactly the same?
No. The wood grain and distressed white-washed finish can vary slightly, which is part of the look of this handmade piece.
