Skull Candle Holder Set

The Skull Candle Holders combine a decorative skull form with a working candle cup, so the piece does something rather than only sitting there. Candlelight from below throws shadow up into the eye sockets, which is exactly the effect the shape is designed for.

They work grouped rather than alone: two or three at different heights along a mantel or a table give depth that a single piece cannot. Between seasons they still read as sculptural objects if you like that sort of thing on a shelf.

Because they hold a live flame, treat them as candle holders first. Place on a stable heat-resistant surface, keep them well clear of curtains, paper decorations and cobweb netting, never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep them out of reach of children and pets.
