Alabaster Candle Holders
The light of alabaster, shaped by the hands of Egyptian artisans.
Natural alabaster candle holders that reveal a soft, warm glow. Each piece has its own shades and translucency, creating a unique presence in interiors as well as on exceptional terraces and tables.
Light Revealed Through Stone
Alabaster is a naturally translucent stone. When the flame is lit, its material allows the light to filter through, revealing its shades, veins, and natural variations.
Our candle holders are handcrafted in Egypt, using artisanal techniques passed down through generations. Each piece is therefore slightly different, with its own depth and character.
No two pieces are perfectly identical. And that is precisely what makes them beautiful.
