This amphora-shaped candle holder embodies the harmony of ancient Mediterranean forms and modern design. Its sculptural silhouette — wide at the base, slender at the neck — gives it a graceful balance, evoking timeless beauty. When lit, the pierced metal reveals a soft interplay of light and shadow that transforms any room into a peaceful retreat.
Each piece is fully handmade in the workshops of Marrakech, using traditional Moroccan “dinanderie” techniques. The artisan shapes, engraves, and pierces the metal without industrial tools, ensuring that every curve and motif is unique. These slight variations make each piece truly one of a kind.
Available in two finishes — warm brass for a golden glow or silver-tin alloy for a refined, modern tone — this candle holder can also be matte or aged upon request. It’s easy to care for: a gentle wipe with a soft cloth is enough to restore its natural shine.
More than a decorative object, this amphora candle holder is a symbol of serenity and continuity — a handmade work that bridges the ancient and the contemporary. Its filtered light creates poetic shadows that invite relaxation and reflection, whether placed on a table, a console, or by the window.
