A cast figurine that turns one cup candle into atmosphere

A hooded figure stands over the flame, cloak folded and hollowed to carry a cup candle. Lit, the folds pick up the light and the rest falls into shadow. Unlit, it still holds a shelf on its own.

Why choose this candle figurine?

The detail is molded in, not printed on, so it survives handling and dusting. Resin takes a fine edge and keeps it. The finish is where the seven options differ.

• Hooded sculpt: a cloaked form with the candle recess set into the drapery.
• Molded detailing: folds, texture and edges are cast into the piece rather than applied to the surface.
• Seven finishes: from Moonlight White and Ivory Mist through Midnight Blue, Amethyst Veil and Shadow Black.
• Takes a cup candle: sized for a standard cup candle, which is not included.
• Mantel or windowsill: compact enough for a ledge, with enough presence to carry one.

It suits gothic decor and reads fine in a plain room too, which is the useful part.

Set it where the shadow has somewhere to land, such as a windowsill or against a bare wall. Use a cup candle rather than a loose taper so no wax runs into the detailing. A soft dry brush gets dust out of the folds.
