Candle fit and display

Display the pair together on a table or mantel, or use them to frame a decorative arrangement while keeping flammable items well away from lit candles.

Care and candle safety

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, or wipe carefully with a slightly damp cloth when needed. Do not soak the wood or use abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight.

Place the holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable decorations, curtains and drafts. Keep flames away from the wooden holders. Never leave burning candles unattended, and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
