A hand lathe-turned ebony wood candle holder. This collection features our Pemba range. It is polished smooth from base to top. Each piece is a labor of love. It begins as raw ebony hardwood and is expertly turned on a lathe by skilled Mozambican artisans, every curve and detail shaped entirely by hand — a true masterpiece that brings the beauty of African craftsmanship into your home. It holds a standard taper candle. The Pemba range takes its name from the town of Pemba in Mozambique. Artisans living in Mozambique's vast woodlands shape each candle holder from Mpingo, the Kiswahili name for African blackwood. Differences in tone and slight imperfections confirm the authenticity of the materials and craftsmanship. The wood is always sustainably and ethically sourced in accordance with sustainable practices.
