Description
This Hand-Finished Lattice Metal Tealight Holder is not just décor — it is India's architectural legacy transformed into light. Inspired by centuries-old palace screens, this antiqued gold piece casts intricate, shifting shadows that turn any room into an atmospheric sanctuary. Handcrafted by artisans who honour traditional jaali (lattice) craft, it carries the soul of heritage with the elegance of modern living.
If you are drawn to décor that tells a story and shifts with the flame — this is the piece that belongs in your space.
A Tribute to India's Jaali Architecture
Jaali — meaning "net" or "lattice" in Hindi — refers to the ornate perforated screens found throughout India's most iconic structures. From Rajasthan's palaces to Mughal gardens, jaali work was designed to filter light and air, creating breathable beauty and ever-changing shadow art. This tealight holder honours that ancient craft, translating intricate lattice patterns into a rounded metal form that transforms candlelight into living architecture.
Hand-Finished Antique Gold Patina
The warm, antiqued gold finish is applied by hand, giving each holder depth, character, and subtle textural richness. This is not glossy perfection — it is artisanal authenticity. The metal bears gentle marks of craftsmanship: variations in tone, whispers of oxidation, and an aged elegance that makes each piece feel discovered rather than bought.
Lattice-Patterned Light That Moves with the Flame
As the tealight flickers inside, the lattice cutwork casts intricate, shifting shadows across your walls and surfaces. Each perforation becomes a storyteller, painting your space in soft, geometric light. Perfect for evening wind-downs, meditative moments, or simply turning a room into something sacred.
Functional Beauty with Thoughtful Design
A removable internal tealight cup makes lighting and cleaning effortless. The rounded silhouette sits comfortably on coffee tables, dining surfaces, windowsills, or bedroom corners — practical enough for daily rituals, elegant enough to become a centrepiece during gatherings and festive celebrations.
Décor That Honours Slow Living
In a world of smart lights and instant brightness, this holder invites you to pause. To light a flame. To watch shadows shift. To create atmosphere intentionally. It is décor for those who value presence over speed, warmth over convenience, and spaces that feel alive rather than simply functional.

A Note on Artisanal Authenticity
Because each tealight holder is hand-finished by skilled artisans, subtle variations in texture, colour depth, and cutwork detail will occur. These are not flaws — they are signatures. They are proof that human hands shaped this piece, that no two holders are perfectly identical, and that what you hold is a work of craft, not a product of automation.
If you value objects that carry the marks of their making, these natural differences will only deepen your connection to this piece.
