Description
🕯️African Candle Holders from Zimbabwe’s Bush Workshops
In the heart of Zimbabwe’s bushveld, local artisans transform scrap metal, natural stone, and seasoned wood into evocative candle holders that blend rustic charm with cultural depth. These handcrafted pieces are more than functional—they’re expressions of resilience, sustainability, and heritage.
Single 9 cm tall / Slender 17 cm tall / Large 19 cm tall / Double 17 cm wide / Triple 33 cm wide.
Holds a traditional candle or a tealight. (If you wish to hold tealight candles only then it makes it easier if you remove the small candle spike).
A single tall candle is included so you can enjoy the light straight away!
If you would like additional candles, natural & battery tealight candles & standard tall candles are available to add to your order in the Lighting section (this section) of our store.
🔨 Crafted in the Bush: Materials & Meaning
• Scrap Metal: Repurposed from old tools, wire, and industrial offcuts, shaped into elegant or whimsical forms.
• Natural Stone: Often soapstone, chosen for its smooth texture and earthy tones, grounding each piece in Zimbabwe’s geology.
• Seasoned Wood: Reclaimed plantation-grown hardwoods like ironwood or ebony, polished with natural wax for a warm finish.
Each candle holder is made in small bush workshops, where artisans work with minimal machinery, relying on hand tools, skill, and tradition. These workshops provide vital employment in rural communities.
