Fumed Oak Candlestick

The ‘Stack’ candlestick, made in Fumed Oak and brass, with a modern take on a classic turned ‘Bobbin’ design.

To create the 'Fumed Oak' effect, air-dried English quarter sawn Oak undergoes a remarkable natural reaction in a fuming cupboard: turning it a deep, rich dark brown, whilst retaining the grain and texture of the timber. The ‘zigzag’ shape of each candlestick is dictated by each stacked wood piece that makes up the construction - a way of utilising all precious offcuts!

Finished to a rich sheen in a hardwearing wax and oil blend, with a solid brass insert to fit our Pure Beeswax Dinner Candles. These candlesticks would suit a relaxed, vintage table just as well as a contemporary mantle.

As each candlestick is handmade from a natural material, there will be small variations in size, shape and colour.

Don’t submerge in water. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Dry straight away. For best results we recommend rejuvenating with wood balm every few months.

Selwyn House is formed by Sean Best and Ellie Smalls, who met studying Fine Art at Leeds Arts University. Always drawn to making things, Sean bought a second-hand lathe and began teaching himself woodturning. An all-consuming obsession for understanding and working with wood followed, and after making the move back to Ellie’s home county of Derbyshire in 2017, they formed Selwyn House, combining their creative talents to create small-batch handmade tableware & homeware from the best British-grown timbers they could get their hands on.
