The dark amber veins of this cylindrical candleholder become even more pronounced when lit. The entire object emits a soft, diffused, creamy light that’s unique to the stone. Artisans in Egypt handcraft these stunning pieces from alabaster hewn from mountains in the Luxor area. Sculpting chunks of multi-hued alabaster into perfectly smooth candle holders is a painstaking, multi-step process. The cutting happens gradually over several days to prevent the stone's fine crystals from breaking, and pieces are glued and wrapped in cotton at night to “rest”.

The piece you receive will have its own distinct coloring and vein pattern that may look significantly different from the product photo. This is not a defect. It is an inherent and defining quality of natural alabaster, and no two pieces are ever the same.

Available in Small and Medium.

Use with our Bloomist Beeswax Votives or Tea Light Candles by Greentree Home.

Meet the Maker

ABOUT SIROCCO

10 years ago, Danish native Malou Lenskjold visited her cousins Ellen and Henrik Raven who lived in the Siwa Oasis in the Sahara Desert. Inspired by local handcrafts and materials in the region, Malou, Ellen, and Henrik launched their family-based company, Sirocco in 2010 and introduced Egyptian made products to the Danish market. Working with local artisans, Sirocco designs and creates a wide range of furniture and accessories from natural materials including salt, alabaster, copper, stone, wool, and cotton. All products are made using ancient handcrafting traditions that have been handed down from generation-to-generation.

Product Care

The base of these candleholders may become hot; we recommend adding a small layer of coarse salt or sand under the candle or use flameless LED candles. If using wax candles, be sure to keep the wick trimmed and the flame low.

Not for outdoor use, even in covered areas. Alabaster should never come in contact with water as it can ruin its smooth finish and color. Dust with soft, dry cloth. To remove surface stains and grime, carefully use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mineral spirits or acetone.
