A turned-timber column lifting a single pillar candle on an aged metal dish.
Jean is a pillar candle holder turned from fir timber, finished in a white-rubbed distress over the natural grain. A stacked baluster column stands on a square foot and is topped with a dark aged-metal dish that holds a pillar candle, a quiet contrast against the pale timber.
It stands 33.5 cm tall, the shorter of the pair, sized for a console, a mantel, or the centre of a table. Set a cream pillar on the metal dish and pair it with the taller Jacques for a stepped set, or stand it alone. Candle not included.

A few ways to place it.
Pair it with the taller Jacques for a stepped set, see the rest of our candle holders
Group pillars at mixed heights down a dining or console run
Stand one on a stack of books or a tray for a quiet vignette
Keep the candle cream or ivory so the pale timber stays the feature
Stylist's Tip
A cream or ivory pillar suits the pale timber best. Keep it a stub or mid-height pillar so the column stays in proportion. A flameless LED skips wax on the dish.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth. It is timber, so keep it indoors away from damp and direct sun so it does not dry out or fade. Burn the candle on the metal dish and let wax cool before lifting it, or use a flameless LED to keep the timber clean.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it made of?
A turned fir-timber column with a dark aged-metal dish on top. The white finish is a hand-rubbed distress over the natural grain.
What candle does it take?
A standard pillar candle sits on the metal dish. A stub or mid-height pillar keeps the column in proportion. The candle is not included.
Does it come as a pair?
Jean is the shorter of two sizes and is sold on its own. The taller Jacques is listed separately if you want the stepped pair.
Can I use it outside?
It is made for indoor use. Timber will swell, dry, or fade if left outdoors or in damp.
Will mine look like the photos?
The white-rubbed distress and the timber grain are different on every piece, so yours will vary a little from the photos. That is the aged look, not a fault.
Because Jean is hand-finished, slight variations in the white-rubbed distress and the timber grain 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.
