Vintage style candle votive with handle

Monday, December 14th, 2009
Candle holder with handle
Candle holder with handle

Votive candle holders are great, but all too often with tall or deep holders, it’s a bit problematic lighting the candle without burning your fingers.

 
This clever idea sorts out that problem fantastically well. The vintage style votive candle holder comes complete with a long armed holder.
 
You pop your votive or tealight candle in the base of it it, light it, then lower it down into the candle holder using the handle. The handle is dainty enough to not stick out too much and be unsightly.
 
You’ll find the candle holder with handle available for £12 from Lytton and Lilly.
