Portacandele Nautilus Candle Holder in Terracotta - Giuseppe Parrinello

Why we love it
Giuseppe Parrinello’s Nautilus candle holder has the quiet drama of a seashell found at dusk—spiral resting on a scallop base, all in warm terracotta. The form feels ancient and modern at once, casting a soft, earthy glow that plays beautifully on a table or mantle. It’s a small sculpture first, a candle holder second—made to be lived with and noticed.

Use & Care

Secure the seat taper candle in place (use the included silicone sleeve for a snug fit).
