Alabaster Candleholders, Set of 2

Carved from genuine alabaster, each candleholder in this pair from John Richard reveals the stone's characteristic translucency — a quiet luminosity that shifts with candlelight in ways no manufactured material can replicate. Standing nearly twelve inches tall on a slender four-and-a-half-inch footprint, the proportions are disciplined and architecturally considered, neither too spare nor too assertive for a well-appointed interior. The enamel finish refines the surface without obscuring the natural variation inherent to the stone, lending each piece a cultivated polish that reads as both ancient and thoroughly current.
