A hand lathe-turned ebony wood taper candle holder, part of our ebony collection from Mozambique. It features an exquisite ridged design from top to bottom. A labor of love from start to finish, each one begins as raw ebony hardwood and is expertly turned on a lathe by skilled Mozambican artisans who shape every ridge and detail by hand — a true masterpiece that brings the beauty of African craftsmanship into your home. It holds a standard taper candle. The artisans live and work in Mozambique's vast woodlands, shaping every taper candle holder from Mpingo, the Kiswahili name for African blackwood. Differences in tone and slight imperfections confirm the authenticity of both the material and the craftsmanship. The wood is always sustainably and ethically sourced in accordance with sustainable practices.
