Open flame, like Vera, if you want the look of a tall dinner candle in a hall or by a fireplace. The flame is exposed, so keep it away from curtains, shelves and draughts.
Glass or open flame?
Glass, like Thomas, if the candle stands near a sofa, a doorway or where people walk past. The 7.9 in glass cylinder shields the flame and catches the drips.
Which heights?
In a group, step the heights by about 4 in. Three Thomas or three Vera read as one piece.
| Model | Heights | Base | Candle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thomas | 37.4, 41.3, 45.3 in | Round, ø7.9 in | Pillar up to ø9 x 6 in, in glass |
| Vera | 29.5, 33.5, 37.4 in | Caesarstone, 20 x 7.9 in | Slim dinner candle, open |
Where do they go?
Beside a sofa or an armchair, in place of a floor lamp. In an empty corner. Either side of a fireplace, a sideboard or a doorway. In a hall, where a lamp would need a socket you do not have.
A group of three in one corner gives more atmosphere than three single holders around the room.
Is a floor candle holder stable?
Thomas stands on a flat round base and Vera on a solid stone base that carries the weight, so neither tips easily on a level floor. On a deep rug, check that the base sits flat.
Keep both out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
Glass, stone or steel: which material where?
Each material does one job. Steel is the frame: welded and powder-coated in our own factory in Sweden, slim and strong, on every model. Glass is the shield: Thomas's 7.9 in cylinder keeps the flame steady near people and draughts, catches the drips and lifts out to wash. Stone is the weight: Vera's Caesarstone base, 7.9 x 7.9 in of engineered quartz, keeps the slim stem steady without any glass.
So: glass beside the sofa and by doors, a stone base and an open flame in a quiet hall. We do not make wooden, brass or silver candle holders. Steel, glass and stone all wipe clean with a damp cloth; wax comes off as the wax removal guide shows.
Colors
Thomas: black, beige, white and taupe. Vera: black or beige, with the stone base in Turbin Gray or Moorland Fog. When customers ask for gray, they usually mean our beige. We have no separate gray frame.
