Irrawaddy Brass Candlesticks | Polished
Brass candle holder
The little bowls on the top of our candlesticks are inspired by monks' alms bowls, a very strong image of Burmese culture. They're also the exact shape of the lamp in our brass collection. We actually shrunk the lamp to sit on top of the sticks. Tiny lamps! The hammered brass surface feels ancient, yet the shape is contemporary. Also comes in a taller and shorter version. Personally, we love a mixture of all three on the table to create different heights.
This will bring new life for your home, and is embedded with the ancient, rich culture of another world. Check out the rest of our brass collection here.

Home is at the heart of Kalinko, the social enterprise bringing the best of Burmese craftsmanship into your living spaces.
The high quality and beauty of these homewares turns everyday items into something to cherish, from boho-style rattan furniture to hand-chiselled marble bathroom accessories.
Each Kalinko piece takes days, or even weeks, to make. They use the phrase “slow homeware” to describe the steady, age-old techniques their crafters use to create these long-lasting and sustainable items.
The artisans are based in villages right across Burma, with Kalinko working with around 300 small craft families.
38% of families in Burma live off $300 a month, yet the cost of adequate nutrition, healthcare and education is $750 a month. Kalinko aims to close this gap for its makers, reducing their need to rely on unskilled farming work to supplement their income.
Every piece you buy from them ensures these artisans get the fair pay their skills deserve. It’s a mission that makes their stunning homewares an even more meaningful addition to your home.
