Tall, narrow and brass, for a table that still has to fit dinner on it.
Rose is a metal candle holder finished in aged gold brass. A woven mesh cage sits above a slim stem and a round foot, with the candle held inside the cage. The brass is warm and a little darkened rather than bright and polished, and the deeper tone settles into the weave where a newer piece would throw back the light.
It stands 41.5cm high on a base just 13.5cm across, so you get real height for very little surface. It holds one pillar candle. It suits a dining table where space is tight, a bedside table, a bathroom shelf or a deep windowsill. This is indoor finished metal, so keep it inside or fully under cover. The rest of the range lives in our candle holders.
Why we love it
◆Small footprint, only 13.5cm across, so it leaves room for plates and serving dishes.
◆Height without bulk, 41.5cm of it, in a shape slim enough to talk across.
◆Aged, not shiny, the darkened brass stays warm under downlights instead of glaring.
◆Light to handle, 0.55kg, easy to lift off the table when you need the space back.

How to style it
This is a narrow piece, so it wants to be read against something, not floating in the middle of a wide surface.
Stand it at one end of a mantel with something low, like a bowl or a small clock, at the other.
Put it on a bedside table where a second lamp would be too much light and too much cord.
Set it in front of one of our mirrors so the cage and the light are doubled.
Group it with shorter pieces and keep the heights uneven, three different heights always beats two matching ones.
Stylist's TipMind the backdrop. Against a deep green or charcoal wall the aged brass reads warm and golden. Against plain white it reads quieter and browner. Neither is wrong, but they suit very different rooms.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a dry cloth, and use a soft brush on the mesh where a cloth cannot reach. If it needs more, a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one is plenty. Leave the brass polish in the cupboard, it will take the aged tone straight off. Let any spilled wax set hard, then lift it away rather than scraping at it warm. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it back from the edge of the table, since at 0.55kg it is light enough to be knocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What candle does it take?
One pillar candle, not included. The cage measures 13.5cm across, so pick a pillar that sits comfortably within that rather than filling it edge to edge.
Can I use a tealight instead?
You can, but it is sized for a pillar. A tealight sits low and much of the light stays down inside the cage, so a pillar shows the piece off far better.
Is it stable on a dining table?
The round foot is 13.5cm across and the whole piece is 0.55kg, so it is light. Set it toward the middle of the table rather than the edge, and away from where people reach across.
Will it match my polished brass fittings?
Not exactly. This is an aged brass tone, deliberately darkened and uneven. It reads beautifully with antique brass, bronze and older hardware, less so beside bright lacquered brass.
Can it live outside?
No. The finish is meant for indoors. A covered verandah for an evening is fine, but rain, dew and salt air will dull and mark it.
Because Rose is hand-finished, slight variations in the tone of the brass, the depth of the ageing and the weave of the mesh 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.
