What it is

A candle holder keeps a candle steady and catches the wax. Each one is made for a kind of candle: tealights, tapers, pillars or votives, so the first thing to check is the candle you use. Salt, selenite and pressed flower glass let the flame glow through.

Why people choose it

  • Made for your candle Tealight holders, candlesticks and pillar bowls each hold one kind of candle well.
  • Light through stone and glass Himalayan salt glows warm, selenite white, pressed flower glass in soft patterns.
  • A piece that stays out by day Carved wood, river stone, granite and glass that suit a shelf or a sill.
  • Sets for the table Many come in pairs, and some take two or three candles at once.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Check which candle it takes: tealight, taper, pillar or votive

  2. 2

    Set it on a flat, heat-safe surface

  3. 3

    Let it cool before you clean away the wax

Care: Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep salt holders dry and use tealights in their own cups. Wipe glass and stone with a soft, damp cloth once cool.

About this product

What draws the eye
  • The Hamsa shape gives the stand a sculptural silhouette, even before a candle is lit.
  • Dark mango wood grain shows through the surface, adding warmth and natural variation.
  • White carved detailing traces the palm and central eye motif, so the pattern reads clearly from across a room.
  • The raised candle cup places the flame above the symbol, making the light feel framed rather than merely held.
  • The broad base and rounded top echo traditional turned forms, bringing softness to the carved outline.
Mango wood with carved Hamsa detail

Made from mango wood in India, this candle stand has the depth and irregular beauty that come from natural grain. The carved Hamsa design is picked out in pale contrast against the darker wood, giving the piece a strong decorative rhythm without making it feel overly ornate.

Using it with candlelight

Place it on a level, heat-safe surface where the carved front can be seen clearly. It suits a mantelpiece, console table, bedside surface or meditation corner, especially where a single candle can become the gentle centre of the setting.

Use only a candle that sits securely in the top cup. Keep the flame away from curtains, books, dried flowers and draughts, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

The meaning behind the hand

The Hamsa is a hand-shaped symbol found across Middle Eastern, North African, Jewish and Islamic visual traditions, often associated with protection, blessing and watchfulness. The central eye motif is commonly linked with the idea of guarding the home, while the open hand suggests welcome and care. Here, that symbolism becomes part of a daily candle ritual: a small object that honours light, presence and the wish to make a room feel considered.

Common questions

Can it be used outdoors?

How should I clean the carved detail?
Dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the wood or using harsh cleaners, as moisture can affect the finish and grain.
