This accent candle holder from Arik Levy's Giants Collection revisits its sister Herkimer Candle Holder in petite form. Its remarkable clarity and opulence is achieved with hand-polished optical crystal in this 3" candle Holder. Its asymmetrically placed disks create a delightfully flowing interplay of the crystal with surrounding light.
Herkimer from the collection was inspired by an exceptionally clear quartz crystal from Herkimer County in New York.
