Karine French Provincial Taper Candlestick Set, Aged Gold Metal
30-day money back guarantee
Two slim columns of aged gold, lit for a long dinner.
Karine is a pair of taper candlesticks in aged gold metal, one at 23.5 cm and one at 31 cm. Each has a slim turned stem, an urn-shaped knop below the cup, and a small dished holder sized for a standard dinner candle. The finish carries darker antiquing over warm gilt high points.
The two heights pair up for a table or mantel, the taller one giving the shorter one something to lean on visually. They take ordinary tapers from the supermarket, so refills cost next to nothing. Keep them indoors, or on a covered table out of the weather.
Why we love it
- ◆ Slim and upright, the taper form reads more formal than a chunky pillar holder, right for a set table or a dressed mantel.
- ◆ Aged gold metal, the antiqued gilt catches a flame and looks at home against timber, dark walls or white linen.
- ◆ Standard tapers fit, the cup takes the dinner candles you can buy anywhere, so there is nothing special to source.
- ◆ A ready gift, a pair of candlesticks suits a wedding, an engagement or a housewarming, and they pack down small.

How to style it
A pair of tapers does the work of a centrepiece on its own.
- Set them on a dinner table with low bowls of greenery between
- Stand them on a mantel with other candle holders at mixed heights
- Flank a small vase on a console for a symmetrical vignette
- Use white tapers for a classic look, or black for something sharper
Stylist's Tip Trim each new taper to sit about a thumb-width into the cup before lighting. It holds straighter, and any drip stays inside the holder instead of running down the stem.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft dry cloth, and peel cooled wax off the cup rather than scraping it warm. Keep the metal dry; these belong indoors or on a covered table, not out in the weather. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candles fit?
Standard taper or dinner candles, the slim kind sold in most supermarkets. The cup is not sized for chunky pillars, so stick to tapers.
What rooms suit them?
French Provincial, French country and cottage tables most of all. The slim gold form also works in formal and transitional settings that want a pair of candlesticks rather than a single statement piece.
How tall are they?
The pair stands 23.5 cm and 31 cm tall on a 7 cm base, before you add the candle. The two heights are meant to be used together.
Is this one candlestick or two, and are candles included?
You receive both candlesticks as a set, the 23.5 cm and the 31 cm. Candles are styling only and not included.
Will the pair match exactly?
Each candlestick is hand-finished, so the patina and gilt vary a little between the two and from set to set. That is part of the aged character. A boxed pair also makes an easy gift.
Because Karine 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.
