A candelabra in faded blue, ten flames waiting, the colour of shutters on a village house.
Joshua is a candelabra in fir timber and aged metal under a vintage blue finish, worn back at the edges the way old paint wears on things that get used. His branches hold up to ten candlesticks.
At 60cm tall he centres a dining table for occasions and holds a sideboard or mantel the rest of the year, lit or not.
Why we love it
◆The blue, a faded provincial shade you rarely find outside French brocantes
◆Ten flames, a full candelabra display that turns dinner into an occasion
◆Timber and metal, a turned timber body with metal branches, warm and slim at once
◆Sculptural unlit, the branched silhouette carries a sideboard even without candles

How to style it
Joshua is built for the long table moment.
Centre a dining table with cream candlesticks in all ten branches
Hold a sideboard between pieces from our candle holders collection
Echo the blue with linen napkins or a vase from our vases range
Let him stand unlit on a mantel as sculpture between occasions
Stylist's TipBurn the candles to slightly different heights before guests arrive; a candelabra with history reads warmer than one fresh out of the box.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth along the branches. Let wax cool before removing it, keep him indoors, and never leave burning candles unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candles does he take?
Standard candlesticks and tapers, up to ten at once. Battery tapers work beautifully if you want the display without the flame.
How big is he on a table?
60cm tall with a 27cm spread, commanding without blocking conversation once candles burn above eye line.
Is the blue bright or faded?
Faded and worn back at the edges, closer to old shutters than fresh paint, so he settles into rooms rather than shouting in them.
What style of decor does he suit?
French Provincial and vintage rooms first, and the blue gives coastal and cottage schemes their accent colour in one piece.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The blue is worn back by hand, so the wear pattern varies a little from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Joshua 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.
