Two doves at the foot of a fluted column, topped with a recessed cup for a taper.
Quentin is a small dove candle holder at 25 cm, a fluted column rising from a base where two doves sit together, finished with a carved capital and a recessed cup at the top that holds a taper. It is cast in magnesia composite and finished in distressed antique white, worn through to a soft terracotta tone in places. Taper not included.
The pair of doves gives it a quiet, romantic note, while the fluted column and worn white finish keep it firmly French provincial. At 25 cm it suits a mantel, a console or a bedside, on its own or beside a second one.

How to style it
A small candle holder likes a little company.
Set it on a mantel or console with a cream taper, with more from candle holders.
Pair two at different points along a dresser or shelf.
Group it with a small vase and a stack of books for a quiet vignette.
Use a dripless taper, or a slim LED taper, for a flame-free glow.
Stylist's Tip
A soft ivory taper keeps the focus on the doves and the worn white finish. Let a little wax patina the cup over time, it suits the piece.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth. The distressed finish is meant to look worn, so light marks add to the character. Keep it dry and indoors, the composite can mark with moisture. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candle fits?
The recessed top cup holds a standard taper candle. A slim LED taper works too. Taper not included.
What is it made of?
Cast magnesia composite, finished in distressed antique white with a fluted column and carved capital.
Is the worn finish intentional?
Yes. The antique white is distressed on purpose, worn through to a terracotta tone for an aged look.
Can it go outside?
Best kept indoors. The composite and painted finish can mark if left in the weather.
Will it match the photo?
Each is hand-finished, so the white and the terracotta worn through vary a little from piece to piece.
Because Quentin is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and tone 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.
