Natural Travertine Taper Candle Holder

Travertine is limestone that formed slowly around mineral springs, which is where the small open pores across its surface come from. Left unfilled and unpolished, the stone reads as quiet and solid rather than decorative.

Turned into a simple column with a weighted base, it holds a taper steady and throws a low warm light across whatever is near it. Use one on a bedside table or a pair on a dining table when you want the room to go soft.

Good to Know

Veining and pore pattern differ in every piece, since it is cut from natural stone. Travertine is porous and will absorb wax and oil, so trim wicks short and let spilled wax cool before lifting it away.
