A slender spiral of aged metal that lifts a single candle flame above the table.
Francis is a candle holder built around an open spiral of aged metal, twisted into a hollow cage between a turned baluster foot and a wide dished top. The finish is a verdigris-green ground washed with antique gold, rubbed back over the raised edges so the gold sits proud and the green settles into the recesses. The dish interior carries a warm gold wash that throws light back up around the flame.
It stands 30.5 cm tall with a dished top around 16.5 cm across, sized for a standard taper or dinner candle set upright in the centre. Stand it on its own beside a stack of books, or pair it with the taller Michel for a stepped pair down a dining table or mantel. Candle not included.
Why we love it
- ◆ An open twist, not a solid stem, so candlelight passes through the spiral cage and picks up the gold inside the dish.
- ◆ Antique gold over verdigris, a hand-finished aged-metal patina where no two pieces wear in quite the same way.
- ◆ Sized for a single taper, with a wide dish that catches drips and holds a dinner candle at eye level over the table.
- ◆ Made to pair, Francis is the shorter of the two heights and steps neatly beside the taller Michel.

How to style it
A few ways to place it.
- Set it with the taller Michel and a low table arrangement for a dining centre, browse the rest of our candle holders
- Group it on a mantel or console near a mirror so the flame and the gold catch the reflection
- Stand a single one on a stack of books or a small tray for a quiet bedside or hallway vignette
- Keep the candle plain and the surround simple so the twisted stem stays the feature
Stylist's Tip A beeswax or ivory taper suits the warm gold dish best. Light it low in a dim room and let the open twist throw its shadow up the wall behind.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Keep it indoors or somewhere fully sheltered, the aged finish is decorative and is not made for weather. Trim wicks before lighting and let wax cool before lifting any drips from the dish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it outside?
It is made for indoor or fully covered use. The antique-gold and verdigris finish is decorative and will mark if left out in rain or direct weather.
What decor does it suit?
It sits with French provincial, French country, and cottage interiors, and works just as well in a darker, more layered table setting.
How big is it?
It stands 30.5 cm tall with a dished top around 16.5 cm across, a little taller than a standard wine bottle.
What candle does it take?
A standard taper or dinner candle sits upright in the centre of the dish, and a short pillar can rest in the dish as well. The candle is not included.
Will it match the taller one?
Francis and Michel share the same finish and twisted stem and are designed to pair. Because each is hand-finished, slight differences in patina between pieces are normal.
Because Francis is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and the gold wash are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
