Description

These distinctive teak wood candlesticks have been crafted from old legs of traditional Indian takhat daybeds, giving them a strong sculptural form and a fascinating sense of history. Takhats were sturdy wooden daybeds commonly found across India, used for seating, resting, and social gatherings within the home.

Each candlestick retains the original hand-turned shaping of the takhat leg, with subtle curves and natural wear that reflect decades of use. The aged teak displays a beautiful grain and patina, making every piece slightly different and full of character.

Fitted with a discreet metal candle holder at the top, these pieces make a striking decorative centrepiece on a dining table, console, or mantelpiece. They are particularly effective grouped together in varying heights, creating a warm and atmospheric display when lit.
