Product Information

A pair of Matthew Hilton Circle candle holders in polished cast aluminium, designed in England in the 1980s. The set includes two sizes, each formed as an upright circular structure made for taper candles.

The design is defined by open ring forms, polished metal surface, and a strong balance between mass and negative space. Functional as candle holders, the pieces also read as small sculptural objects, with the aluminium giving them a crisp, silver-toned presence.
Context

Matthew Hilton is a British designer known for furniture, lighting, and object design. These Circle candle holders reflect his early use of cast aluminium and the sharper material language of 1980s British design.

The Circle candle holders belong to a late 20th-century design moment when industrial materials were increasingly used in domestic objects. Their polished aluminium, clear geometry, and sculptural profile place them within 1980s British modernist and postmodern-era design, with a more geometric form than the curved Swan candle holders from the same design language.

Care Guide

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. For fingerprints or light surface marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive metal polish, scouring pads, acidic cleaners, or aggressive polishing, as polished aluminium can scratch easily and lose its surface character.
