Opt for one of these chic vessels for your candles this autumn.

Once you’ve bought a deliciously scented candle or, if you prefer, a pretty and scentless candle, you might care to spare a thought for the candle holders that are as much a piece of art as they are hosts for your favourite wicks.

There’s a whole world of cool sculptural candle holders that any interior-lover would approve of, whether it’s something that makes a statement or a pared-back home for your go-to wicks.     

The best part about investing in a sculptural candle holder is that they work with everything. In fact, they look best in a home when clashed against a clutch of other cool candles. There’s really very little that they don’t work with.  

Alongside your sculptural candles and your hand-painted candles, dial it up with a sculptural candle holder. These are a few of our favourites.
