The Eye of Providence as an old symbol
The Eye of Providence motif — an eye placed within a triangle, surrounded by rays — has appeared for centuries in the decoration of European buildings, books and paintings. You find this classic motif on the sides of this candle holder, which transforms the light of the candle burning inside it into delicate projected patterns on the wall.
How to use it
Place a votive candle or tea light inside. When it gets dark, light it, turn off the overhead lamp, and watch as the motif's pattern is drawn onto the surrounding wall. The effect is most beautiful against a quiet wall surface. You receive an evening, homely "little light play" accessory you can light next to a book, a coffee, or a quiet conversation.
Where to place it
Put it on a stable, non-flammable surface — a wooden shelf, table or console works well. At about twenty to thirty centimetres from the wall, the light pattern is drawn cleanly. Keep it away from curtains, paper, hanging decorations, and never leave a lit candle unattended. Do not place it close to pets or children.
Maintenance
The metallic surface is easy to clean: wipe it with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Do not use scouring or acidic cleaners. If candle wax drips onto it, let it cool, then carefully scrape it off with a wooden tool. The metallic coating should be kept away from prolonged moisture.
When to give it as a gift
It is a perfect surprise for those who enjoy evening mood lighting. Thanks to the distinctive character of the motif, it is a good choice for a thoughtful, reflective person — for a birthday, as a housewarming gift, or as a small attention during the festive season. You can give a timeless, decorative accessory the recipient will use all year round.
