Indian Candle Holder with 3 Niches

Three little arched niches in a row, each ready to hold something very small and important.

This marble candle holder with three niches is from Rajasthan, India, and is contemporary. A candle holder with niches is made with small recesses to hold flames, and the pierced stone lets the light show through softly. From the front, a long, low white slab with three recessed niches, each topped with a pointed, cusped arch. A raised border steps around the openings. The surface is smooth and creamy with soft shadows and light grey marks. It is 16 inches wide, 6.8 deep and 3 high.

Tiny architecture for tiny occupants, impeccably framed.
