A tall gilded stand and a glass hurricane, candlelight raised up off the floor.
Sylvestre is a tall floor candle holder, a slender stand in aged metal with an antique gold finish. A turned stem rises from a fluted round base through a softly weathered ball knop to a cup at the top, where a clear glass hurricane, rimmed top and bottom with a fine beaded trim, holds a single pillar candle and shields the flame.
At 77.5 cm tall it stands on the floor, lovely beside a hearth, in an entryway, at the foot of a staircase or either side of a console or doorway. It is the shorter of a pair; the taller Yves stands at 89.5 cm, and the two together make a graceful graduated set. The look is French Provincial with a quietly grand, formal edge.
Why we love it
◆Raised candlelight, it lifts a pillar candle up off the floor so the glow sits at eye level in a hall or beside a hearth.
◆Antique gold, aged metal hand-finished with a soft, weathered shine that catches the light without shouting.
◆Glass hurricane included, the beaded glass sleeve shields the flame, so a real pillar candle or a flameless LED both work.
◆One of a pair, set it with the taller Yves for a graduated pair, or stand it alone to frame a doorway or fireplace.

How to style it
It brings height and a warm, formal glow.
Pair it with the taller Yves and the rest of our candle holders for graduated heights beside a hearth.
Stand one either side of a console or doorway, with a mirror above to spread the light.
Group it near a cluster of lanterns for a layered, candlelit corner.
Use a pair to line an aisle or entry for a wedding or event, indoors or under cover with our garden and outdoor pieces.
Stylist's Tip
Drop a wide pillar candle or a chunky flameless LED into the glass for the fullest look. A pair, one Sylvestre and one taller Yves, flanking a fireplace or doorway is the easiest way to make an entrance feel finished.
Care & Keeping
Dust the metal with a soft dry cloth. Lift out the glass hurricane to wash it clear of soot now and then. Keep it indoors and out of wet so the antique gold finish stays at its best. If you burn a real candle, never leave it unattended and keep it clear of anything that can catch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need assembling?
It comes apart into a few sections for delivery and fits back together by hand, no tools needed. The glass hurricane sits in the cup at the top.
Does it come with the glass and a candle?
The glass hurricane is included; the candle is not. It holds a standard pillar candle or a flameless LED, shielded inside the glass.
Can I use it outside?
It is made for indoors. You can use it on a covered patio or verandah for an event, but keep it out of wet and bring it in afterwards, as the antique gold finish is not meant for constant weather.
How tall is Sylvestre, and is there a matching one?
Sylvestre stands 77.5 cm tall. Its match is the taller Yves at 89.5 cm; together they make a graduated pair, and each is sold separately.
Is it good for weddings or events?
Yes. A pair either side of an aisle, entry or cake table gives height and warm candlelight, and they work just as well at home afterwards. The candle is not included.
Because Sylvestre is hand-finished, the antique gold varies a little from piece to piece, so no two are quite the same. 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.
