Askio Gray Candle Holder, Set of 2

Because travertine is a porous natural stone, it is best to avoid letting wax sit for long periods. If a spill occurs, we recommend letting the wax harden completely or using a small ice pack to "freeze" it, making it easier to gently pop off with a plastic scraper. For general maintenance, our care guides suggest dusting with a soft, dry cloth and using only mild soap and water for deeper cleaning to protect the stone’s unique texture.

These candle holders offer exceptional stability due to their solid stone construction. Crafted from unfilled gray travertine, each 15.5-inch tall cylinder has significant weight and a sturdy 4-inch square base. This heavy, low-center-of-gravity design makes them far more difficult to tip over than glass or lightweight wooden alternatives, providing peace of mind in high-traffic households.

While primarily designed for interior use, the natural travertine and metal construction makes these holders quite durable. Their substantial weight is a major advantage for local climates with coastal breezes or windy afternoons, as they are unlikely to blow over on an outdoor dining table. If used outdoors, we recommend placing them in a covered area and bringing them inside during extreme weather to preserve the finish of the dark bronze metal cups.

One of the most refined features of this set is that each piece is unique. Since they are crafted from natural, unfilled gray travertine stone, every cylinder will feature its own distinct "veining," color variations, and natural pits. This ensures that your set is a one-of-a-kind addition to your modern decor, reflecting the authentic beauty of natural stone.

Standing at 15.5 inches, these holders are ideal for creating vertical interest and "layering" your decor. Based on modern design principles, they work beautifully when placed as a pair on a fireplace mantel or at opposite ends of a large coffee table. Their sophisticated gray tones and dark bronze accents allow them to serve as a neutral yet authoritative focal point that complements other natural elements like wood or metal furniture.

Yes, these holders are designed with both style and safety in mind. Each cylinder features a dark bronze metal candle cup at the top. Metal is a highly heat-resistant material that provides a secure, non-flammable seat for your candles, helping to protect the natural travertine stone from direct heat and ensuring the flame remains stable.
