Ghanaian Ashanti Brass Tealight Holder 'Endurance'
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Endurance tealight holder is the smaller companion to AARVEN's brass pillar candle holders — the same hammered brass from George's workshop, scaled down to hold a single tealight.
Who made your candle holder?
Cast by George Kofi and his team in Kumasi, the capital of Ghana's Ashanti Region. George has been practising lost-wax brass casting for around 15 years, learning the craft from his uncle, and has worked with AARVEN since 2018. He runs the workshop with his business partner Monica and five other artisans.
The detail:
- Recycled brass, hand-cast using the lost-wax technique
- Height 15.5cm
- Candle hole diameter approximately 4cm; fits a tealight candle (not included)
- An AARVEN original design
Care
Recycled brass darkens naturally over time — some people love that earthy patina, others prefer to keep it bright. To restore the shine, polish with Brasso (following the bottle's instructions), or rub with half a lemon dipped in salt. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
