Brass Angel Altar Candlestick, 9.75" – Kneeling Angel, Made in Italy

A kneeling angel, cast in Italy and finished in polished brass, holds the candle socket while gazing upward. The relief is worked on both faces, so the candlestick can be turned to face either direction — which is precisely what you want when a matched pair flanks a crucifix and both angels should incline toward the center.

Order two

Altar candlesticks are used in pairs. On a home altar, the customary arrangement is a crucifix at the center with a candlestick on either side, and this piece is designed for exactly that — the reversible relief means the pair reads as a mirrored set rather than two identical objects pointed the same way.

Select Pair (Set of 2) above for the standard arrangement, or Single if you're completing a set you already own.

For the home altar, oratory, or side chapel

At 9.75 inches this sits comfortably on a home altar, a bedroom prie-dieu shelf, or a side table beneath an icon or crucifix. It's substantial enough for a small chapel or adoration corner without overwhelming a domestic space.

Candles

Takes a standard taper (socket diameter: 7/8"). 

Care of polished brass

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Remove wax drips with gentle warmth rather than scraping. Avoid abrasive polish, which will cut through the finish.

As a gift

A pair of altar candlesticks is a fitting gift for an ordination or first Mass, for a seminarian setting up a room, for a godchild's Confirmation, or for a family building a home altar for the first time.
