Étienne French Provincial Dove Candle Holder, Fluted Column, Distressed Antique White
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
Two doves resting at the foot of a fluted column, worn to the look of old garden stone.
Étienne is a candle holder moulded in cast magnesia composite with the look of aged, weathered stone. A fluted classical column rises from a stepped base under a carved capital, with a recessed top that holds a single taper. Two doves rest against the foot, one perched on the column, one settled below. The finish is a distressed antique white worn through to a warm terracotta body at the edges.
It stands 25 cm tall on a base around 19 cm wide, sized for a mantel, console, or the centre of a small table. Set a standard taper in the recessed top and let the doves and the worn column carry the rest. Candle not included.
Why we love it
- ◆ A pair of doves at the base, the detail that lifts it past a plain column candlestick.
- ◆ Cast magnesia with the look of aged stone, a distressed antique white worn through to terracotta at the edges.
- ◆ A recessed top for a single taper, so the candle sits steady above the carved capital.
- ◆ A single statement piece at 25 cm, enough to hold a mantel or small table on its own.

How to style it
A few ways to place it.
- Stand it on a mantel or console with a slim ivory taper, see more in our candle holders
- Group it with other sculptures and statues for a layered French shelf
- Pair it with dried stems and old books for a quiet still life
- Keep the surround pale so the worn white and the doves stay the feature
Stylist's Tip A slim ivory or beeswax taper suits the chipped white best. Turn it so both doves face the room and the carved capital catches the light.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the worn edges where the finish is meant to be chipped. Keep it indoors or somewhere fully sheltered, as cast magnesia is porous and not made for weather. Sit the taper securely in the recessed top and let wax cool before lifting any drips.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it made of?
It is moulded in cast magnesia composite, a lightweight material finished to look like aged, weathered stone. It is not solid stone, so handle it as you would a fine decorative piece.
Can I use it outside?
It is made for indoor or fully covered use. Cast magnesia is porous and the finish will mark if left out in rain or direct weather.
What candle does it take?
A standard taper or dinner candle sits in the recessed top of the column. The candle is not included.
What decor does it suit?
It sits with French provincial, French country, and cottage interiors, and the doves and column read at home on a mantel, a console, or a layered shelf.
Will the wear look like the photos?
The distressed white and chipped edges are applied by hand, so the exact pattern of wear differs from piece to piece. The overall look stays the same as shown.
Because Étienne is hand-finished, slight variations in the distressed white, the chipped edges, and the patina are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
