Arnaud French Provincial Candle Holder, Antique Gold Horn Candlestick
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
The taller horn of the pair, lifting a single taper on a slim stem above a flared foot.
Arnaud is the taller of the two horn candle holders, modelled on an old post horn from the days of coaching and the hunt. A slim stem rises from a flared, trumpet-style foot, a single loop of metal curls off to one side, and a small cup sits at the top for the candle. The finish is antique gold worn over a darker base, mottled across the bell and lightly rubbed so the high points catch the light.
At 40.5cm it gives real height to a table or mantel and works as the lead in a candle grouping. It holds a standard taper or dinner candle, which is not included. Stand it on its own for a single tall accent, or set it beside the shorter Renée so the two horns read as a matched pair.
Why we love it
- ◆ The tallest of the horn pair, a post-horn outline that carries height without taking up much footprint.
- ◆ Antique gold over aged metal, mottled and lightly worn across the bell, stem, and coil.
- ◆ Holds a standard taper, ready to use as soon as you add a candle, no fittings required.
- ◆ Sold on its own, so you can lead with Arnaud and add the shorter Renée for a two-height set.

How to style it
A few ways to place it.
- Pair it with the shorter Renée and step the candle heights for a layered table, see more in candle holders.
- Give it room on a mantel or console where the full height shows, or lift it on a tray if the surface is busy.
- Keep the surrounds warm: antique gold sits well against dark timber and deep green.
- Burn unscented tapers at the table so the candlelight leads, not the scent.
Stylist's Tip Lead with the tall one. Set Arnaud slightly back and the shorter Renée in front, then let the front candle burn lower so the two flames sit at different heights.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Keep it dry and indoors, since the antique gold finish can mark if it sits in damp or direct sun for long stretches. Let wax cool fully, then lift any drips away with a soft cloth rather than scraping the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outdoors?
Indoor use is best. The antique gold finish on aged metal can mark in damp or strong sun, so keep it inside or somewhere fully sheltered.
What style of decor does it suit?
French provincial and French country rooms, plus cottage and vintage-leaning spaces. The horn shape and worn gold sit well against dark timber, panelling, and warmer palettes.
How big is it?
It stands 40.5cm tall on a 15cm base, a little taller than a standard wine bottle. At 0.6kg it stays easy to move around the table.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Each piece is hand-finished, so patina, texture, and the depth of the gold vary a little from one to the next. That variation is part of the look.
Does it include a candle, and is the pair sold together?
No candle is included, and each size is sold on its own. Arnaud is the taller 40.5cm holder; the shorter one is listed separately as Renée.
Because Arnaud is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and the depth of the gold are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
