A hand lathe-turned ebony wood candle holder, part of our ebony collection from Mozambique. The design pairs a ridged, urn-shaped stem with a straight-sided cup. 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 ridge and detail shaped entirely by hand — a true masterpiece that brings the beauty of African craftsmanship into your home. Designed to hold a standard taper candle, it sits beautifully on a dining table or mantel. 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.
