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.

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.
