Crazy for candleholders

Perhaps the candle craze of the 90s has run its course, but I think Danish Modern candleholders have a classic beauty that never goes out of style. My favorites are teak and walnut.

I also love chrome, pewter, stainless  and black cast iron. I'm not picky.

My favorite tapers are the tiny 1/4" diameter ones, but they're fairly hard to find.  I've recently found them in a great selection of colors in 6", 12", 15" and 18" heights at Crafted Candles.

  2. I see so many candle holders I want, I have to restrain myself, because there is only so much tabletop to display on!

  3. I just found two holders like the ones in libby71's photostream. Do you know what kind of wood it is? I love every last candle holder you showed here.

  4. @Midcenturymadam: All the ones I've found are made of teak. Those are my favorites!
