Skull Candle Stand – 300 grams of hand-finished resin for low light

Skull Candle Stand – shadows climbing the wall the moment the flame catches

A resin skull that sits under a candle and catches the light from below. The form is finished by hand, which keeps the lines of the socket and the jaw sharp. At 300 grams it stays put on a table, a shelf or a mantel.

Why choose this skull candle stand?

Candlelight is the one light source that moves on its own, and a shaped object next to it turns that into shadow play. The skull catches the flame and prints its outline on the wall behind. That works in October and just as well in a room that stays dim all year.

• Finished by hand: sockets, jawline and teeth are each gone over individually.
• Cast resin: holds its form, does not yellow, and feels heavier than it looks.
• 300 grams: enough weight to stay still when someone walks past the table.
• Shadow cast: the contours of the skull draw themselves on the wall behind it.
• Year-round piece: as much at home in a dark interior as on a seasonal table.

One flame, and the wall behind the table handles the rest.

Put the stand on a flat, heat-tolerant surface and keep it clear of curtains. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and put it out before you leave the room. Wax comes off once it has hardened all the way, using a blunt plastic scraper.
