Molecular Candle Holder, Nordic Metal Sculpture Candlestick Centerpiece for Living Room and Dining Table, Gold, Silver or Black
Three cups on short metal legs, so it holds three tapers and reads as a sculpture unlit.
Details
This molecular candle holder is three short metal legs, each topped with a round cup for a candle, joined at a star-shaped centre. The three flames stand in a small triangle, and unlit it still reads as a sculpture, which is most of the time.
It is about 10 cm / 3.9 inches across and 6 cm / 2.4 inches tall, low enough to talk over as a dining table centerpiece. A console in the entryway or a sideboard in the living room does the same job for anyone after a modern taper candle holder. Gold suits walnut, brass and warm tones, silver suits glass and grey stone, and black reads as a clean line on pale oak, white walls and concrete.
It is all metal, the right material beside a flame: it will not scorch or warp. Each cup takes a slim taper up to 1.2 cm / 1/2 inch across; a standard dinner candle is wider, so shave its base to fit. Let drips set hard, flick the wax off with a fingernail or wooden spatula, then wipe with a warm damp cloth. Skip abrasive pads and metal polish, dust with a dry cloth, and never leave lit tapers unattended.

Why it earns its place
Three in a triangle
Three short legs, each topped with a round cup, meet at a star-shaped centre, so the three flames stand in a small triangle.
Small and low
About 10 cm / 3.9 in across and 6 cm / 2.4 in tall, so it sits in the middle of a table without blocking anyone's view.
Slim tapers
Each cup takes a candle up to 1.2 cm / 1/2 in across, so buy slim tapers or shave the base of a standard dinner candle.
In your home
The middle of a dining table is where it belongs. Lit for dinner, the three flames give the table a centre without a bunch of flowers, and afterwards it stays out as a small sculpture between the plates.
A console in the hall or a sideboard in the living room does the same job. The gold version goes with walnut, brass and warm colours, silver with glass and grey stone, and the black one draws a clean line against pale oak, white walls and concrete.
Materials and quality
It is all metal: three short legs, each with a round cup on top, joined at a star-shaped centre and finished in gold, silver or black. It measures about 10 cm / 3.9 in across and 6 cm / 2.4 in tall, and each cup is about 1.2 cm / 1/2 in wide. Metal is the right material for something that spends its evenings next to a flame, since it will not scorch or warp, and a dripped taper wipes off once the wax has set.
Care and everyday use
Let dripped wax go hard, then flick it off with a fingernail or a wooden spatula; warm water on a cloth takes the last film. Avoid abrasive pads and metal polish, which will mark the finish. Never leave lit tapers unattended, and keep them upright and clear of anything above. Dust with a dry cloth between uses.
Good to know
What candles does it take?
Slim tapers up to 1.2 cm / 1/2 in across. A standard dinner candle is wider, so shave its base to fit; pillars and tea lights are the wrong shape for it.
How big is it?
About 10 cm / 3.9 in across and 6 cm / 2.4 in tall, low enough to talk over in the middle of a dining table.
Gold, silver or black?
Gold if the room already has brass or warm wood, silver beside glass and grey stone, black if the walls are pale and you want a clean outline.
