A vintage hand-carved wooden candle holder featuring an elephant beneath leafy branches. Made from solid hardwood, the pedestal base is lathe-turned while the upper bowl has been intricately carved with openwork details to allow candlelight to glow through.
The central socket measures 3cm in diameter, making it suitable for taper candles. With its decorative cut-out design and warm patina, it works as both a functional candle stand and a display piece.
Likely of Indian origin, this piece dates to the mid-20th century and reflects the traditional handicrafts of the region.
Condition: In good vintage condition with age-related wear. Some internal splits, small chips around the cutwork, and old wax residue inside from past use (see photos). These add to the authenticity and charm of the piece.
Dimensions:
Height: 16cm
Base diameter: 9.5cm
Rim diameter: 8cm
Candle holder diameter: 3cm
A beautiful decorative object for those who love carved wood, elephant motifs, or vintage Indian crafts.
