Atmospheric warmth comes aplenty with these table toppers
There’s nothing like candlelight to set the tone and atmosphere of a dinner party, a bath, a cosy date night or a quiet day working from home (the perfect companion, if you ask us). Not to be confused with the candle itself, the stick is the holder that you proudly display on the table – wax accessory present or not. And on our tablescape mood board, we’re all about candlesticks that serve some dopamine-fuelled pops of colour, designs that err on the side of frivolous, and preferably, all collected together in a beautiful magpie mismatch of traditional and fresh contemporary design. So what are you waiting for? Get lit with our edit of the best luxury candlesticks below.
The Edit: Luxury Candlesticks & Holders
Rebecca Udall
Daisy Candlestick In Leaf Green, £28
For a classic candlestick with a modest pop of colour, look to Rebecca Udall. The homeware designer’s line of ceramic candlesticks are hand-painted by artisans in Portugal, and feature designs inspired by antique crockery found in French flea markets. Little flashes of green mean these table toppers are perfect for brightening the table come spring (but we imagine they’ll also look fresh in every season that follows).
The White Company
Alabaster Cube Candle Holders (Set of 4), £40
Chic and minimalist – it has to be The White Company. The British brand’s growing tableware line includes this set of cube candle holders, made from sleek alabaster. Comfortably weighted and primed to hold a tapered candle, these holders will add a classic touch to the table. (And no doubt will also impress your guests.)
Birdie Fortescue
San Pedro Glazed Candlestick In Red Multi, £26
Candlesticks with (classic) character? Try these. Birdie Fortescue’s ceramic candlesticks are made with a reactive glaze that creates a unique painterly effect, meaning no two sticks are the same. These pair perfectly with more colourful waxes – a dose of dopamine, right on your dinner table.
Maison Flaneur
A Pair of Bow Candleholders In Apple Green, £28
Maison Flaneur has never shied away from playful and quirky designs – in fact, it embraces them. That’s why it’s not entirely surprising to find its candle holders, painted in vibrant, have been reworked and shaped into dainty bows (complete with gold trim). Sure to be a talking point at the table, as well as a fun accent to your tablescape.
Skye McAlpine Tavola
Serata Candlesticks (Set of 2), £48
When the weather just doesn’t allow for outdoor entertaining, bring the sunshine inside with these pretty candlesticks from Skye McAlpine Tavola. Hand-blown by skilled artisans, this duo comes in a palette of sugary pink and sunny yellow, with contrasting rims that signal their pairing. The quickest way to give your table some joyful flair.
Mrs. Alice
Blue Parrot Candle Holders (Pair), £163
For the maximallists – because who said your candlesticks couldn’t be animal shaped? – your dream candlesticks come courtesy of Mrs. Alice. The homeware designer is known for giving classic glass candle holders a more colourful spin, but in recent seasons she’s taken to transforming the entire stick. Cue, this beautiful blue candlestick that comes dressed as a tropical parrot.
