Etched Solid Brass Bell Taper Holder

Hold the Etched Solid Brass Bell Taper Holder in your hand before you ever light a candle in it, and the weight alone tells you this is not a lightweight piece. A hand-etched pattern, drawn from vintage design, wraps the bell-shaped base so the detail catches even in daylight, not just once a wick is burning.

Line a full row of these down the center of a holiday table for a steady run of flickering light, or use just one to anchor a smaller vignette on a side table or windowsill where a single flame does plenty of work. Candlelight moves differently across an etched surface than a plain one, throwing small shadows that a flat finish simply can't produce. Mix it in with our patina metal taper holders for a table that reads as gathered over time rather than bought as a set, or tuck it among garland and ornaments on the mantel for a scene with real depth.

Both a short and a tall version are available, which makes staggering heights along a runner or mantel an easy way to add rhythm to the display. Set out year after year, it only grows more character with time, the kind of piece that seems to collect a little more history with each season it comes back out.

Available in short and tall sizes.
