Wood, Glass & Cast Iron:
Vintage candleholders of choice from Svetlica

When you’ve been into candles long enough, it’s only natural to develop a growing fascination with candleholders. First, you start digging through your grandparents’ closet, finding a pair of something teak and nice-looking. Then comes eBay — and before you know it, you’re building a mental catalog of famous (and not-so-famous) designers from Denmark, Sweden, West Germany… So many of them made candleholders. It’s a whole design world of its own, and it’s easy to fall down that rabbit hole. You have to start somewhere, right? Here are a few candleholders we think would pair nicely with our candles.
