The bronzed brass candle holder is an exclusive member of the STOFF Nagel candle holder family. This special piece is made of solid brass that has undergone a process of oxidation to achieve the bronzed finish. The three holes are polished to create a clean brass surface. It is considered a work of art - a personal statement and a malleable sculpture ready to assume the shape of its owner's unique creativity. Create and combine it with other Stoff Nagel designs and use it with taper candles, or leave it merely as a decorative sculpture. Cleaning and maintenance: This special piece is made of solid brass that has undergone a process of oxidation to achieve the bronzed finish. The brass is left untreated and will patinate over time. You can easily remove candle drips by placing the candle holder in hot water with a drop of detergent. After removing drips please refrain from polishing your candle holder as this will ruin the bronzed finish. Please note that marks may occur on the legs after repeated stacking due to natural wear and tear unveiling the clean brass surface.
