The Akari Pair

Vintage Japanese Brass Taper Candle Holder Set

This elegant pair of vintage solid brass taper holders, originally marked with a “Made in Japan” sticker (now gently removed over time), reflects the refined craftsmanship and design sensibility that defined Japanese export pieces from the 1950s through the 1970s. During this era, Japan’s metal artisans became renowned for creating beautifully cast brassware that balanced Western formality with Eastern simplicity — designs made to last, with warmth and grace.

Each holder rises tall and slender, with a softly flared base that catches candlelight and accentuates the natural patina that has developed over decades. Their golden glow tells the story of careful artistry and timeless beauty — versatile enough for both modern and traditional spaces.

Dimensions:

• Height: 7 1/8"
• Base Width: 2 3/4"

These understated yet striking candle holders make a perfect pairing for your favorite taper candles, adding heritage and quiet sophistication to any room or table setting.

*Please note: The original “Made in Japan” sticker has worn away, a gentle sign of age and authenticity that speaks to their vintage origin.
