A twelve-arm candelabra in whitewashed iron rising from a turned wood column, a quiet centrepiece for long dinners and slow evenings.
Étienne is a tall floor-or-table candelabra with twelve curved iron arms rising in a tiered arrangement from a turned fir wood column. The iron is finished in a soft distressed whitewash that wears back to a warm undertone along the high points, and each arm ends in a small tulip-shaped cup designed for standard tapered candles. The wood column section breaks the white with a band of warm timber, carved with cut-out detail that echoes a classical column, before stepping down to a fluted whitewashed pedestal foot.
At 27 cm wide and 60 cm tall, Étienne is sized as a statement centrepiece, the kind of piece that anchors a dining table, console, or mantel and holds a room together when lit. The white finish is the softer of the two colourways in this design, Étienne's sister piece Joshua is finished in distressed blue for a moodier read.

Étienne's scale and the soft white finish make her suited to a few specific moments:
Stylist's Tip A candelabra wants twelve candles of roughly the same length to read its best. Burn the tapers down evenly by rotating them every dinner so no single arm gets ahead, and use drip-free tapers to keep the whitewash from yellowing over time.
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush, paying attention to the candle cups where wax can settle. Wax drips can be lifted from the iron by warming gently with a hairdryer and wiping with a soft cloth, taking care not to scrub at the whitewash finish. The wood column section can be wiped with a barely damp cloth and dried immediately. Indoor only, and never leave burning candles unattended.
No, candles are sold separately. Étienne is designed for standard tapered candles. We recommend drip-free tapers to protect the whitewash finish from wax staining over time.
Étienne and Joshua are the same candelabra in two finishes. Étienne wears a soft distressed whitewash for a lighter, calmer read suiting whites, creams, and French country palettes. Joshua wears distressed blue for a moodier, more romantic reading. They pair beautifully at opposite ends of a long dining table for a coordinating set, or each works equally well as a solo piece.
Yes. The arms, candle cups, and pedestal base are all iron in the whitewashed finish. The central column section between the base and the lower arms is solid fir wood, left in a warm natural tone with carved cut-out detail. The wood section is what gives Étienne her two-tone character.
Indoor only. The whitewashed iron and natural wood column are not weather-rated, and the candle cups need to stay still and protected from wind for safe burning. She is well suited to dining rooms, mantels, and enclosed conservatories.
French Provincial, French country, Hamptons, romantic, wedding and event styling, traditional, and modern country interiors. The whitewashed finish keeps her light enough for neutral palettes while the tiered twelve-arm design gives presence and ceremony.
Étienne is hand-finished, so the chip pattern of the distressed whitewash, paint distribution, and the wood grain of the column section vary slightly from piece to piece. That's part of the appeal and the reason she reads as gently aged rather than mass-produced.
Because Étienne is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, paint distribution, and wood 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.
