Ghanaian Ashanti Brass Big Pillar Candle Holder 'Strength'
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Strength pillar candle holder shares its form with Excellence — the same substantial, hammered brass shape from George's workshop, carrying a different name from AARVEN's collection. Good on its own, or paired with others from the range.
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 16cm x Width 10cm
- Candle hole diameter 8.5cm; no candle 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.
