Winged Candle Stand

Curator's Notes 

It seems that I can never grow tired of watching the flame of a candle, the way it stretches and quivers and points. Lit candles imbue the sparsest of rooms with a warm and friendly spirit. These candle holders are minimal yet detailed, and provide a beautiful base from which the smooth pillar of a candle can extend. The wings reach up almost as if they are eagerly awaiting the fall of molten wax. A few set in the middle of your dining table will make any meal a ceremony, and any evening a cozy night in.
