Carefully carved and polished by hand, the turtle features a dedicated space for holding a candle and is finished with colourful pigments that highlight its distinctive shape and decorative details. Its combination of natural stone, sculptural form and practical candle-holding function makes it a beautiful accent for tables, shelves, consoles and other interior spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to bring warmth and character to a space, the candle holder can be styled in \u003cstrong\u003eliving rooms, bedrooms, entryways, patios and hospitality interiors\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The process of transforming natural soapstone into the finished sculpture requires careful carving, smoothing, polishing and decoration, giving every piece its own individual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe candle holder is \u003cstrong\u003emade to order\u003c\/strong\u003e and can be customised in different colours to complement your preferred décor or colour palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause soapstone is a natural material and each piece is finished by hand, slight variations in stone markings, colour, shape and decorative details may occur.
