Candle holder designs in metal

Metal lends itself beautifully to candle holders—not only for durability but for the tactile richness it brings. We feature designs in brushed nickel, blackened iron, cast brass, and antiqued bronze, many finished by hand or left to patina naturally over time.

The strength of metal also allows for slender silhouettes and intricate details—from minimalist bases for tapers to weighty platforms for pillars. Whether polished to a mirror sheen or matte and textural, each piece reflects a thoughtful material story that complements contemporary, rustic, and transitional spaces alike.

Our assortment of metal candle holder designs spans genres. You'll find symmetrical, stacked column designs that evoke Brutalist architecture, as well as softly rounded forms that play with negative space. Choose a single large-scale piece for dramatic impact, or create a curated vignette with mixed heights and finishes.

Whether you're styling a formal tablescape, a quiet entryway console, or a meditative bathroom corner, the right metal candle holder adds both substance and glow. Several of our designs also function beautifully as sculptural accents, even when unlit.

Metal candle holders add contrast and depth, particularly in rooms rich in soft textures—linen, boucle, wool, or wood. Pair matte black or oil-rubbed bronze with warm natural tones for an earthy, grounded palette. Or let a brass or chrome design reflect ambient candlelight in a moodier, evening-inspired setting.

For a refined tablescape, mix slim taper holders in aged brass with low votive bases in antique silver. Avoid uniformity—mix shapes and finishes within a tonal range to keep the look curated, not coordinated. The glow of the candle becomes more layered, more compelling when set against thoughtfully selected metalwork.
