Light a candle inside and the pierced lace throws its pattern across the whole table.
Paros is a pair of pedestal candle holders, each a cylinder of pierced floral lacework in antique gold raised on a turned goblet base. A glass sleeve sits inside each cylinder, shielding the flame and holding the candle steady.
At 44.5cm and 38cm tall the pair reads as a matched set with a deliberate stagger. Run them down a dining table, stand them on a mantel, or let them hold a sideboard on their own.
Why we love it
◆The lantern effect, candlelight through the piercing turns each holder into a pattern projector after dark
◆Glass inside the metal, the sleeve steadies the flame in a breeze and keeps wax off the lacework
◆Two heights, one pair, the 44.5cm and 38cm stagger gives an instant styled look without arranging
◆Works unlit too, in daylight the aged gold pair carries a mantel or console as sculpture

How to style it
Paros belongs wherever evenings happen.
Run the pair down a dining table with others from our candle holders collection
Group with a lantern from our lanterns on a covered verandah table
Stand them at one end of a mantel and let the stagger balance a mirror at the other
Use warm white LED pillars where an open flame is not practical
Stylist's TipPlace the pair against a plain wall rather than a busy one; after dark the pierced pattern needs a clean surface to land on, and the effect doubles.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Lift the glass sleeves out to wash them separately in warm soapy water, dry fully before returning, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candles fit inside?
Standard pillar candles and tealights sit inside the glass sleeves, and LED pillars work beautifully if you prefer no flame. The glass keeps wax off the metal.
Can they be used outdoors?
On a sheltered verandah or covered outdoor table, yes. The glass sleeve steadies the flame in light air movement, though bring them in from rain and full weather.
How tall are they in a room?
44.5cm and 38cm, about the height of a wine bottle and a half. On a dining table they sit above eye contact between seated guests rather than blocking it at glass level.
What style of decor do they suit?
French Provincial and French country naturally, and the pierced pattern also leans Mediterranean, so they bridge both looks on the one table.
Will my pair look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The antique gold and white patina are applied by hand, so the wear pattern differs slightly between pieces, which is part of the intended aged character.
Because Paros is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
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
