A matched set of candlesticks with hand-turned teardrop wood stems in warm honey-toned hardwood, set between verdigris-patinated metal bases and tulip-shaped candle cups. The contrast is everything — the warmth of the wood grain against the cool, mottled green of the oxidized metal, like something pulled from a coastal cottage in the Swedish archipelago. Each stem has its own grain pattern and character, and the verdigris has developed unevenly across both pieces in the most beautiful way — sea-green here, deep charcoal there, flashes of bronze peeking through. Fit standard taper candles. Style them on a dining table, a sideboard, or a mantel where they can catch the light.
