Antique Alabaster Marble Floral Candleholder with Carved Leaves

This antique alabaster marble floral candleholder is a beautifully hand carved decorative piece that combines the natural elegance of stone with exquisite craftsmanship. Measuring 19 cm wide, 15 cm high, and 9 cm deep, it features a central candle cup framed by delicately sculpted flowers and leaves. The creamy alabaster marble is enriched with natural grey veining, giving each part of the design depth, variation, and individuality.

Alabaster marble has been valued for centuries for its smooth texture, gentle translucence, and classic beauty. The fine craftsmanship in this piece is evident in the lifelike details of the petals and leaves, each carefully shaped to create an ornate yet balanced composition. The natural veining in the stone enhances its sculptural quality, making it a standout decorative accent whether used for its intended purpose or displayed purely as an ornamental object.

This candleholder is ideal for a range of styling options. It can be placed on a mantelpiece with a tall tapered candle for an elegant evening setting, displayed on a console table as a sculptural centrepiece, or incorporated into a seasonal display with greenery, flowers, or berries. The floral design softens the solid stone, making it suitable for both romantic interiors and more formal traditional spaces.

The pale tones of alabaster marble blend beautifully with many interior palettes, from warm neutrals to deep rich shades. While there are small chips to the candle cup and one leaf, these are subtle, consistent with its antique age, and do not detract from its beauty or stability.

Crafted from natural alabaster marble with no maker’s mark, this piece remains in good antique condition overall and will bring both elegance and history to any home.
