Materials:
Iron, plated in brass. This is a brass-plated piece rather than solid brass.
Production:
Made and hand-finished by the same artisans in India who make our brass candle holders. The patina is applied by hand, so each piece ages a little differently.
Sustainability:
Iron and brass are both fully recyclable. Snuffing a candle rather than blowing it out protects the wick and keeps the burn even, so the candle lasts closer to its full hours.
