Tapered brass candle cup, 22 mm – for taper candles

The table is laid, the taper candles are ready – but your old candle holder has lost a cup, and the candle is leaning. That's exactly where this 22 mm solid brass candle cup comes in: it holds taper candles with a tapered base securely, gently centres them and protects your wood from dripping wax. Tapered in shape and finished with an all-round rim – as if made for your candle holder.

What changes for you

• Your taper candles stand securely and straight, because the tapered inner shape (22 mm at the top, approx. 16 mm at the bottom) centres the candle base all by itself.
• Your wooden candle holder stays clean and undamaged, because the pure brass cup keeps wax and heat away from the surface.
• Fitting the cup is straightforward, thanks to two installation options: sitting flush in a hole of approx. 23 mm, or firmly pressed into a hole of approx. 22 mm.
• Your candle holder looks neat and tidy. The collar of approx. 3 mm runs all the way round and cleanly covers the edge of the drilled hole.
• You'll enjoy it for a long time, because solid brass keeps its shape and sees you through many candlelit evenings unchanged.

Why this candle cup makes a difference day to day

A candle that burns steadily and straight changes the mood at the table. The light is even, nothing wobbles and you don't have to keep checking on it. The softly shimmering matt brass goes especially well with natural materials such as wood. This turns a repaired candlestick back into a piece you're happy to put on the table.

Material & finish

Each candle cup is made of pure brass and neatly finished. You'll notice this as soon as you put in the first candle. The cup fits exactly and the candle stands steady. They are made in Germany, in the tradition of Erzgebirge candle cups. The metal is durable and keeps its shape. It gives candlesticks, Schwibbogen candle arches and arrangements an even shine.

Good to know about candle cups

Candlelight has a long tradition in the Erzgebirge: candle arches and candle holders have been part of Christmas there for generations, and brass candle cups have always kept the candles securely in place. That's why this cup is not only ideal for repairing classic candle holders, but also for anything you build yourself in this tradition – from arrangements to your very own candle holder.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: solid brass is a durable material that keeps its shape and withstands heat and wax. So your cup keeps its snug fit and soft sheen over many candlelit evenings.
