Description
This set of two contemporary taper candle holders features a unique elongated fluted design. The central stem boasts a textured hammered metal finish in a muted silver/champagne tone, contrasted by cream-colored circular bases and matching octagonal top plates. Standing approximately 12-14 inches tall, these provide a sophisticated height for tablescapes or fireplace mantels. The rustic-glam aesthetic fits well with modern farmhouse or transitional home decor.
Key Features
Tapered height for visual interest; trendy hammered metal texture; neutral color palette that fits many decor styles; complete set of two.
Authenticity Indicators
The lack of maker's marks and the paper tag/ribbon suggest mass-market retail origins. Confidence: High (Mass-market item).
Flaws to Note
Significant surface tarnishing and dark spotting on the metal portions. This may be intentional 'shabby chic' distressing but looks more like environmental oxidation which may require polishing if a clean look is desired.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sale to avoid shipping fragility; Mercury or eBay for broader reach using keywords like 'Hammered Metal' and 'Modern Farmhouse'.
Selling Tips
Do not fully polish the metal; some buyers prefer the aged 'tarnish' look. Use the term 'Traditional meets Modern' in the listing. Photograph against a dark background to make the cream accents pop. Bundle with a pair of taper candles in the photo to show functionality.
