The taller of the pair, an open spiral of aged metal that holds a single flame high above the table.
Michel is built around an open spiral of aged metal, twisted into a hollow cage and set between a turned baluster foot and a wide dished top. A turned ball knop sits just below the dish, lifting the whole piece taller than its companion Francis. The finish is a verdigris-green ground washed with antique gold, with a warm gold wash inside the dish that catches the candlelight.
It stands 38.5 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 alone for height on a console or sideboard, or set it with the shorter Francis for a stepped pair down a dining table. Candle not included.
Why we love it
- ◆ An open twist, not a solid stem, so candlelight passes through the spiral cage and lifts off the gold inside the dish.
- ◆ Antique gold over verdigris, a hand-finished aged-metal patina that wears a little differently on every piece.
- ◆ Built for height at 38.5 cm, so it reads across a room on a console, mantel, or sideboard.
- ◆ The taller half of a pair, it steps up beside the shorter Francis or stands on its own.

How to style it
A few ways to place it.
- Pair it with the shorter Francis and a low arrangement for a stepped table centre, see the rest of our candle holders
- Stand it on a console or sideboard below a mirror so the flame doubles in the glass
- Group several at staggered heights along a mantel for a quiet, layered run
- Keep the candle plain so the twisted stem stays the feature
Stylist's Tip Set Michel at the back and Francis in front so the two heights read as one pair. An ivory or beeswax taper keeps the warm gold dish glowing.
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 the wick 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 38.5 cm tall with a dished top around 16.5 cm across, a fair bit taller than a standard wine bottle and the taller of the two heights.
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 shorter one?
Michel and Francis 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 Michel 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.
