A little crown topped with a cross, holding a candle at its heart.
Blanche is a decorative crown in metal, the openwork frame curving up to a cross and fleur-de-lis finial. The finish is a distressed antique white worn back over the metal, and a small cradle hangs from a hook inside to hold a candle.
At 50 cm tall it makes a quiet centrepiece on a mantel, a console, or a dining table, the candlelight glowing out through the ribs of the crown. Use it lit for an evening, or leave it as a sculptural piece on its own. It has a romantic, faintly devotional feel that suits a French Provincial room.
Why we love it

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
Sit it on a mantel or console with a candle inside, then browse the rest of our candle holders.
Use it as a centrepiece on a dining table for an evening, the light glowing through the frame.
Set it near a mirror so the candlelight doubles in the reflection.
Stylist's Tip
A flameless LED pillar gives the same warm glow through the frame without an open flame, so you can leave it lit and walk away. Keep the candle small enough to sit clear of the metal.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Blanche is finished to look aged, so the worn white is part of the look. Keep it indoors and dry. If you use a real candle, never leave a lit flame unattended, keep it away from anything that can catch, and use a votive or small pillar that sits clear of the frame. A flameless candle is the safest choice for everyday use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candle does it take?
A votive or small pillar sits in the cradle that hangs inside. A flameless LED pillar works well and is the safest for leaving lit.
How big is it?
50 cm tall to the top of the cross, and about 25 cm across the crown. It makes a clear centrepiece without being too wide.
Does the candle cradle come out?
The cradle hangs from a hook inside the crown, so you can lift it off to place the candle and hang it back.
Can I use it without a candle?
Yes. It stands on its own as a sculptural crown, on a mantel, shelf, or table.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
It is finished by hand to look aged, so the distressed white falls a little differently on every one. No two match exactly.
Because Blanche is hand-finished to an aged look, variations in the distressed white are natural and part of the 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.
