A candle, a mirror behind it, and twice the flame on the wall.
Aude is a slim mirror-backed candle sconce in aged gold. A single cup sits on a curved arm in front of a tall mirror, so a lit candle doubles in the glass. A moulded bow finishes the top and a small hook curls beneath. It stands 60 cm tall.
The frame is a light metal rod in an aged gold, gilt-effect finish, with a mirror panel set into the back. Hang one beside a mirror or doorway, or a pair to flank a bed or fireplace. The candle shown is for styling and not included. For indoor use.
Why we love it

◆Aged gold with a bow, the gilt-effect finish and moulded bow give it a soft, romantic French look.
◆Slim wall footprint, at 15 cm wide it fits a narrow stretch of wall or sits neatly in a pair.
◆Takes a pillar or votive, the cup holds a small pillar or votive, or a flameless LED for a safe glow.

Hang a pair either side of a mirror or over a mantel
Flank a bed or a doorway for symmetry
Group with other candle holders for a soft, layered glow
Stylist's Tip
A short pillar or votive keeps the flame near the mirror, where the reflection does the most. A flameless LED gives the same double glow with no wax or smoke near the glass.
Care & Keeping
Dust the frame and mirror with a soft dry cloth. Wipe wax from the cup once it cools. Keep the flame away from the edge of the mirror, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For indoor use, away from damp. Hang with fixings rated for the weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candle fits?
A small pillar or votive sits in the cup. A flameless LED works too and keeps wax and smoke away from the mirror. Tapers are too tall and narrow to sit securely.
Does the mirror reflect the candle?
Yes, that is the point of it. The cup sits in front of the mirror so a lit candle doubles in the glass and casts more light.
Can I buy a pair?
Each sconce is sold on its own. Order two if you want a matched pair to flank a mirror, bed or fireplace.
What is it made from?
A light metal frame in aged gold with a mirror panel and an MDF backing behind the glass.
Will mine match the photos?
Each piece is hand-finished, so the depth of the gold and any light aging in the mirror vary slightly. That is the look, not a fault.
Because Aude is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
