You light the candles just before everyone sits down, and suddenly the table looks like Christmas.
Finding a candle holder that suits a traditional Christmas table can be harder than it sounds. These two nutcracker soldiers have a mustache, curled hair, a buttoned jacket, and a feather or leaf badge on each hat. The antique-look gold finish sits nicely beside greenery and wooden pieces, much like a vintage brass candle holder. The opening on top is 0.87 inch wide, so slim taper candles fit.
Why is this candle holder set so popular?
-
Nutcracker soldier design: Each holder is shaped like a soldier with a mustache, curled hair, and a buttoned jacket.
-
Set of 2: You get a matching pair, so you can place one on each side of a table or mantel.
-
Fits taper candles: The 0.87 inch opening on top is made for standard slim taper candles.
Ideal for:
Anyone dressing a Christmas dining table, home decorators who like a vintage look, and styling a fireplace mantel.
What size candles do these holders take?
The opening is 0.87 inch wide and made for standard slim taper candles. Thicker pillar candles won't fit.
Can I use them outdoors?
They're made for indoor use, so they work well on a table, shelf, or mantel inside your home.
Are the two holders the same?
They're a pair with the same soldier style, though the badge on each hat and the jacket details look slightly different.
How tall are they?
Each holder is 4.72 inch tall without the candle, so the candle adds to the overall height.
