Elephant Tealight Holder in Antique Gold – Raised Trunk, 164g | 200mm
The raised trunk is not incidental — in Indian tradition, a raised-trunk elephant actively bestows good fortune rather than simply representing it. This antique gold metal elephant holds a tealight and casts warm light across whatever surface it shares. 164g, 200mm tall: a considered small object for a desk, shelf or dining table. One piece. What You're Getting 200mm height × 140mm length × 50mm width — tall and slender. Works on narrow shelves and side tables. 164g — lighter than the solid brass elephants. This is a tealight holder, not a sculpture — the form is optimised for the candlelight function. Raised trunk — the traditional posture of active blessing in Indian iconography. Antique gold finish — warm tone that enhances rather than competes with candlelight. Floral detailing — visible at close range on the elephant's body. Before You Buy Returns: 14 days from delivery. Unused, in original packaging. Return postage is at your cost. Delivery: Ships from Sydney in 3–5 business days. Free shipping on orders over $150. Stock: One piece available. Individually selected.

Hand-Carved Stone Oil Warmer and Tealight Diffuser – Jaipur | 402g
Two functions in one hand-carved stone object: essential oil diffuser and tealight holder. Place a tealight in the base and oil in the bowl above — the heat from the flame warms the oil gently, releasing fragrance while the carved lattice casts patterns across the walls. The stone itself stays cool to the touch on the outside while the bowl warms above the flame. Hand-carved by stone artisans in the Jaipur region. 402g, 100mm tall, 80mm diameter. One piece.

Hanging Metal Tealight Holder – 386g | 200mm, Cut-Out Patterns
386g of hand-finished metal with cut-out patterning — this tealight holder works on a surface or hanging from a hook.

Jaali Tealight Holder in Antique Gold – 253g | Palace Lattice Design
The jaali — the lattice screen of Mughal palace architecture — exists to let light through in patterns while maintaining privacy and structure. This tealight holder applies the same principle at table scale: lit from inside, the lattice throws geometric patterns across the surfaces around it. The antique gold patina makes it as good unlit as it is glowing. 253g. 70mm tall, 160mm diameter. Removable inner cup for easy tealight replacement. One piece. What You're Getting Metal and brass, antique gold finish — 253g. Warm patina that works in every light. 70mm height × 160mm diameter — low and wide. Works on dining tables, coffee tables and mantels.

Jaipur Stone Tealight Holder – Lattice Carving | 634g
This is the piece in the collection that takes the longest to understand — and is better for it. A two-piece hand-carved stone tealight holder from the Jaipur region: a base that holds the tealight and a carved lattice shade that sits above it. When lit, the lattice throws intricate patterns across every surrounding surface. The stone has natural veining that makes each piece genuinely unrepeatable. 634g. 210mm tall, 100mm across. Two pieces. One set. What You're Getting Two-piece design — base and carved lattice shade. The shade lifts off for tealight placement. 634g — the heaviest stone piece in the collection. Solid, stable, heirloom-grade weight. 210mm height × 100mm diameter — tall enough to be a centrepiece on a dining or coffee table. Hand-carved in Jaipur region — individual carving. The lattice pattern is cut by hand, not machine-stamped. Natural stone veining — no two pieces identical. The variation is the point. Is $324.95 the right price? Hand-carved stone of this quality and lattice complexity from Jaipur is sold through Indian craft galleries at $500–$800. The Ganges sources directly from Jaipur artisan workshops. $324.95 is honest pricing for what this object is. Before You Buy Returns: 14 days from delivery. Unused, in original packaging.

476g of hand-painted metal in the form of a vintage steam engine — the kind of desk object that gets picked up by visitors who come to ask where it's from.

Brass Urli Bowl on Elephant Legs – Solid Brass, Hand-Cast in Maharashtra
A traditional Indian urli bowl elevated on sculpted elephant legs — not a decorative concept, but a solid cast brass object that weighs 550g and earns its place on any surface it occupies.
