Antique Brass Iron Taper Candle Holders, Set of 3
The desk is lit; the room around it is not. Three graduated iron holders in an antique brass finish fix that for less than the lamp cost, and they solve the one weakness of a banker's lamp - that all the light lands in a single pool. Set them behind the desk on a shelf or a windowsill and the room gains a second, softer layer after dark, which is the difference between studying and sitting in an interrogation. They take standard tapers, they are heavy enough not to tip, and unlit they still read as objects rather than as candle hardware. Rated 4.7 stars from just under three hundred reviews.
Let's buy this →Good to know: Iron with a brass finish rather than solid brass - close inspection shows it, and the finish wears at the grip points over years. Check your housing contract before you light anything: many halls ban open flame outright, in which case buy these as sculpture and leave the tapers unlit.
