Clattam Gold Candle Holder, Set of 3

To maintain the beautiful gold finish on these iron holders, we recommend a gentle approach to wax removal. Once the wax has hardened, you can place the holders in the freezer for about 30 minutes; the wax will typically contract and pop off easily. For remaining residue, our care guides suggest using a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Avoid using metal scrapers or harsh abrasives, as these can scratch the gold plating.

Yes, these holders are crafted from iron, a material chosen for its significant weight and durability compared to aluminum or plastic alternatives. The iron construction provides a solid, weighted base that improves the height-to-base ratio, offering the stability necessary to safely support standard 10-inch or 12-inch taper candles.

These slender holders are specifically designed for standard taper candles, which typically have a base diameter of 7/8 inch. To ensure a secure, upright fit, our design team recommends using high-quality dripless tapers or securing the candle base with a small amount of melted wax or a candle snugger if the fit feels loose.

For a classic, traditional look, these graduated holders are best arranged in a tight cluster or a staggered line. Placing the tallest holder in the center or at one end creates visual rhythm and height variation without obstructing conversation across the table. This "rule of three" arrangement is a staple in professional interior styling for mantle displays and formal dining room tablescapes.

Absolutely. The traditional styling and graduated heights make this set an ideal choice for event planners and homeowners looking to add an elegant vertical element to a tablescape. Their slender profile allows them to be tucked into floral arrangements or greenery without taking up excessive surface area, making them particularly effective for urban apartment dining or crowded event tables where space is at a premium.

Based on our product specifications, some light assembly is required for this set. Typically, this involves screwing the slender stems into the weighted bases and the candle cups. This design ensures that the components remain secure and perfectly aligned during shipping and allows for a more compact storage footprint when not in use.
