A little birdcage in worn white, built to hold one candle and nothing else.
Willow is a metal candle holder shaped like a birdcage, with slim bars that curve up from a round base and gather under a domed top. The finish is a distressed white, rubbed back along the ridges and edges so the darker metal shows through in places. That wear is put on deliberately, so the piece looks like it has been in the house a while rather than arriving straight off a shelf.
It stands 49.5cm high and measures 20.5cm across, which is tall enough to hold a table on its own without needing anything grouped around it. It takes one pillar candle, set inside the cage. Put it on a dining table, a hall console or a wide mantel where there is a bit of headroom. It is painted metal, so it belongs indoors or on a fully covered verandah, not out in the rain. You will find the rest of the range in our candle holders.
Why we love it
◆Real height, at 49.5cm it sits comfortably alongside lamps and tall vases instead of disappearing next to them.
◆Open bars, the cage lets candlelight out on every side rather than shuttering it behind glass.
◆Distressed white, a soft off white that sits well against oak, linen and painted timber.
◆Easy to shift, 1.2kg means you can carry it from the table to the hall with one hand.

How to style it
Willow does its best work where there is a bit of empty air above it and something plain behind it.
Set it at one end of a long dining table and keep the other end low, so the eye has somewhere to travel.
Stand it on a hall console beside a bowl for keys and a small stack of books.
Put it on the hearth beside the fireplace rather than on the mantel if your mantel is already busy.
Pair it with linen, raw oak and a little greenery, and let it be the only white thing on the surface.
Stylist's TipStand it in front of a lamp rather than beside it. The bars throw a fine shadow pattern across the wall behind, and you get twice the effect from one piece.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a dry cloth or a soft brush, working in between the bars where dust likes to settle. Wipe marks with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, since sitting moisture will lift a distressed finish. Let spilled wax harden, then lift it off with a blunt edge rather than picking at it while it is soft. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep the flame well clear of curtains, shelves and anything overhanging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size candle does it take?
One pillar candle. The cage is 20.5cm across, so a standard pillar sits inside with room to spare around it.
Does it come with a candle?
No, Willow is sold on its own so you can choose the candle height and scent you like.
Can I use an LED candle instead of a flame?
Yes. A battery pillar works just as well and is the sensible choice if the piece is going somewhere with children, pets or a passing breeze.
Can it go outside?
It is painted metal, so keep it indoors or on a fully covered verandah. Rain and damp will get under the finish and it will start to spot.
Will the white finish chip over time?
The finish is already worn back by hand, so the odd extra mark blends in rather than standing out. Handle it by the base rather than the top ring and it will keep looking as it should.
Because Willow is hand-finished, slight variations in the depth of the distressing, the tone of the white and the line of the bars 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.
