Product Information
Full details
The Fifty Five South Helsa Candle Holder is designed for homeowners and interior stylists seeking a sophisticated, contemporary accent piece that blends functionality with artisan craftsmanship. Its primary benefit lies in its versatile, dual-sided design, which allows for effortless switching between tealight and taper candles to suit different lighting moods. While its compact footprint makes it an ideal fit for bookshelves or bedside tables, potential users should note that the stone construction is relatively heavy and requires careful handling to prevent surface scratching.

FAQs
Can I use this outdoors?
Yes, the stone construction is durable enough for outdoor use, but it should be stored indoors during inclement weather to prevent staining.
Does it come with candles?
No, the candle holder is sold as a standalone item; candles must be purchased separately.
Is the stone surface sealed?
The holder features a natural finish; avoid exposing it to acidic liquids or heavy oils to prevent potential staining.
Will the base scratch my furniture?
The stone base is smooth but dense. For maximum protection on sensitive surfaces, it is recommended to apply small felt adhesive pads to the bottom.
Can I use a pillar candle with this?
No, this holder is specifically designed for tealights and standard taper candles only.
Troubleshooting
Candle feels loose in the holder
Use a small amount of candle adhesive or melt a tiny bit of wax into the base before inserting the candle to provide a secure grip.
Wax dripped onto the stone surface
Allow the wax to harden completely, then gently lift it off with a plastic scraper. If a slight residue remains, use a soft cloth with a very small amount of warm water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply decide which orientation suits your candle type and place the holder on a flat, stable surface. To ensure longevity, always use a coaster or felt pad underneath if placing it on polished wood or glass surfaces to avoid abrasions. For cleaning, wipe the stone with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the natural finish or damage the veining detail. If wax residue builds up, gently scrape it away with a plastic tool rather than metal to avoid marking the stone surface.
