Description
Formed from thick rope tied into a compact nautical knot, this candle holder is a characterful piece with strong coastal personality. The rope has been hand painted in red, green, black, and off-white, finished with a deliberately worn, distressed look that gives it the feel of something pulled from a working harbour or a weathered boathouse shelf.
It is designed to hold a standard taper candle and carries a satisfying, solid weight — the kind of object that holds its own on a shelf or side table without needing anything around it. The visual texture of the knotted rope makes it a natural talking point.
