About this product

What the wooden number brings to a celebration
  • The white-washed finish keeps the look calm and light, easy to place with soft party colours, linen, dried flowers or simple table décor.
  • The grain remains part of the design, so the wood feels warm rather than flat or overly polished.
  • It gives a fourth birthday, fourth anniversary or milestone year a clear focal point without making the table feel busy.
  • After the candles are out, it can move to a shelf or bedroom corner as a small reminder of the day.
  • The shaped number has a playful presence, especially for family celebrations where the age itself is part of the joy.
White-washed Albesia wood

It is made from white-washed Albesia wood, a fast-growing wood valued for its visible grain. The pale finish lets that natural pattern show through, giving each piece a slightly different character.

Each candle holder is handcrafted by artisans in Indonesia. Small variations in grain, tone and finish are part of the piece, not a flaw.

How to display and care for it

Use it as a birthday table accent, on a mantelpiece, or among simple decorations for a fourth birthday or anniversary. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface when using it as a candle holder.

Keep the wood dry and wipe gently with a soft cloth. As with any candle holder, never leave a lit candle unattended.

A slower way to mark a milestone

Wooden birthday numbers sit somewhere between party décor and keepsake. They bring the clear joy of a number, but with the steadier presence of natural material. In a home that favours reusable, tactile pieces over disposable decoration, a wooden number feels especially at ease. It can become part of a yearly ritual, brought out for photographs, family tables and quiet birthday mornings, then kept on display long after the cake has gone.

Common questions

Can it be placed directly on a cake?
It is best used beside the cake or on the celebration table rather than pushed into icing.
Will every number 4 look exactly the same?
No. Because the wood is handcrafted and naturally grained, small differences in colour, pattern and finish are expected.
