Growing a Brass Candle Holder Collection
Why would you start a brass candle holder collection? For the richness, history and beauty that comes with it! Something that adds so much character to a home is patina - that beautiful texture that develops on a materials only by the passing of time. Brass has particularly warming patina, and incorporating it into your home can honestly make your space feel cosier, because it feels more lived-in. Scattering brass candle holders around your home as decorative details, is one way to make your space welcoming.
Antique fairs and flea markets are a great place to seek out brass candle holders. You’ll find them in various sizes, from different eras, and in different price ranges. Brass patinas quickly, so even within a year or so, you’ll start to see a new or newly polished brass candle holder develop nuances in colour.
