30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
A star-pierced cage that throws the candlelight out in points across the wall.
Rueben is a star-pierced lantern in aged metal with a weathered rust finish, the smaller of a pair. The body is a cylinder of geometric star fretwork, topped by a domed, pierced cap with a ring handle and finial. The cap lifts on a small hinge so you can set a candle inside, and when it is lit the cutwork throws the light out in fine stars.
At 34 cm it suits a table, a shelf, a hearth or a step, indoors or on a covered verandah, and the ring handle means it can hang as well. Use it on its own, or beside the taller Yannick for a graduated pair. The look is French Provincial with a Moroccan, rustic edge.
Why we love it
- ◆ Star-pattern light, the pierced geometric cage scatters candlelight across walls and tables in points.
- ◆ Weathered rust finish, aged metal hand-finished to look found and old, so it settles straight into a relaxed room.
- ◆ Hinged cap, the top lifts to drop a candle in, then sits closed over it; the ring handle lets it sit or hang.
- ◆ One of a pair, set it with the taller Yannick for graduated heights, or let it stand alone.

How to style it
It is a relaxed, earthy kind of candlelight.
- Set it with the taller Yannick and the rest of our lanterns for layered heights.
- Cluster it on a mantel or table with other candle holders for a warm group.
- Stand it on a console under a mirror to spread the starry light.
- Line a few along a covered verandah with our garden and outdoor pieces.
Stylist's Tip A flameless LED pillar is the easy choice here, since the cage is open metal with no glass. Set it going at dusk and the star pattern reads right across the nearest wall.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush to lift dust out of the cutwork. The weathered rust is the finish, not a flaw, so there is no need to polish it back. Keep it out of constant wet; indoors or under cover keeps it looking its best. If you burn a real candle, never leave it unattended and keep it clear of anything that can catch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Rueben outside?
Yes, on a covered verandah, patio or balcony out of driving rain. The finish is already a weathered rust, so it is happy in a relaxed outdoor spot; just keep it out of constant wet so it does not deteriorate further.
Does it come with a candle or glass?
No glass and no candle. The body is open metalwork, so a flameless LED pillar is the easy, safe choice. A real pillar works too if you prefer, with the usual care.
What style of room does it suit?
French Provincial with a Moroccan, rustic leaning. It also sits well in Mediterranean, boho, farmhouse and relaxed coastal rooms.
How big is Rueben?
It stands 34 cm tall on a 16.5 cm round base. It is the smaller of a pair; the taller Yannick is 42.5 cm.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. It is a characterful, easy-to-love piece at a friendly price, good for housewarmings, weddings or as a just-because gift. Add a flameless LED pillar and it is ready to use. The candle is not included.
Because Rueben is hand-finished, the weathered rust 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.
