This rare candleholder was designed by the Danish designer Jens Harald Quistgaard in 1960's and comes in the original packing.
 
The candles for this type of candleholders can sometimes be difficult to find, so we asked our supplier of beeswax candles, to produce the candles especially for these 0.7cm candleholders. You can find them here.
