Two sisters in aged gold, one taller, one wiser, both waiting for dusk.
Alma and Amara are a candlestick pair in iron, each rising on a rope twisted stem from a fluted trumpet base that spills onto the table like poured fabric. Their cups carry wide drip trays, and both wear an aged gold finish rubbed back to darker tones along every twist.
Alma stands 60.5cm and Amara 42cm, so they stagger naturally down a mantel, a long dinner table, or a console where the evening deserves a little theatre.
Why we love it
◆The twisted stems, fine rope spirals that carry candlelight all the way down
◆The fluted bases, swirled trumpets that pool on the table like dropped silk
◆The two heights, a head taller and a head shorter, made to stand together
◆The aged gold, rubbed to darker tones so every twist holds a shadow

How to style it
Alma and Amara bring the height a table setting always wants.
Stand them together at one end of a mantel rather than centred
Run them down a dinner table with greenery between their bases
Pair them with pieces from our home accents collection
Stylist's TipKeep their candles at different burn lengths rather than trimming them to match. The pair reads most romantic when it looks like they have been lit on different evenings.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth and let any wax set fully before lifting it away. Never leave burning candles unattended, and keep the pair on level surfaces away from curtains and draughts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the set?
Both candlesticks, Alma at 60.5cm and Amara at 42cm, in the same twisted stem design. Candles are not included.
What candles do they take?
Standard taper or dinner candles. Each cup sits over a wide drip tray, so the wax stays off your table even on a long evening.
Are they steady at that height?
Their trumpet bases are broad for the slender stems. Give them a flat, level surface out of the path of sleeves and they hold their tapers politely.
What are they made of?
Iron, with the twist worked along the full stem, in an aged gold finish rubbed back to darker tones.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close. The aged gold is rubbed back by hand, so the pattern of wear shifts a little from piece to piece, which is part of the intended character.
Because Alma and Amara are 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.

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.
