Alta Red Candle HolderA sculptural brass candle holder designed to cast light, hold attention through restraint. Cast in brass, the form draws on Alta and traditional metalworking techniques, resulting in a piece that is contemporary, yet timeless.

In its arresting and powerful essence

Like its namesake

In the celestial chronicles of India

The candle is encased in a cast brass holder

exquisite thread or golden light

shaped by craft and technique

the design references Saffron and time-honoured metalworking traditions

manifesting both wealth and a discerning mind to use it well

embossed blackbucks in various graceful poses leap across a forest scene

but the combined blessings of the lion's ambition and the elephant's wisdom

after which these objects are named—a homage to the enduring beauty of an era that dared to dream anew

amidst a lurking crocodile swimming in a sea of silk
