Décor Objects Solid brass, turned on a lathe, three heights Three taper holders in solid aged brass. Real brass has weight and warmth — plated steel goes silver at the edges within a year. Solid brass Turned from bar stock, not plated. It patinas rather than wearing through. Three heights 10, 15 and 20 cm. Staggered, they make a centrepiece out of three candles. Standard taper fit Takes any 22 mm dinner candle, the size sold everywhere. Wide drip plate Catches the wax before it reaches the table. 01 — The metal Plated versus solid Plated candle holders wear at every corner you handle and reveal grey steel underneath. Solid brass darkens instead, and a minute with a cloth brings it back. 02 — The patina Leave it alone Unlacquered brass shifts from bright gold to a deeper bronze over a couple of years. That is the finish people pay for, so resist the polish. 03 — The height Below eye level at a table Twenty centimetres is the tallest that still lets people see each other across a dinner table. Anything higher and you are talking around a candle.
