Pair of 'Lichfield' Hand Forged Candle Holders 29.5cm | Small

Lichfield Cathedral is England's only medieval cathedral with three spires. Locally, they're called the Ladies of the Vale, and they have stood over the Staffordshire city for centuries.

This matching pair of candlesticks takes its outline from those spires. Each has a slender stem rising to a flared cup that holds a taper candle.

Both candlesticks are made entirely by hand from wrought iron. The hammer marks across the cup, stem, and base are left by traditional blacksmith techniques as the metal is shaped.

Because each piece is worked by hand, the texture varies slightly, so no two pairs are quite the same.

At 29.5cm, this is the shortest height in the Lichfield range. It's a good size for a dining table, where the candles sit low enough to see across, or for a mantelpiece or deep windowsill. A broad hammered base keeps each candlestick steady.

Place one at each end of a mantel for a balanced look, or set them side by side as a centrepiece.

For a tiered display, the Lichfield candlesticks are also available as a set of three in different heights. The two taller heights, 39cm and 49cm, also come as matching pairs.

Designed to fit a standard taper candle with a 22mm diameter.
