Somewhere between sculpture and function, this birdnest candle holder sits. Rajasthan's carvers have shaped the metal into the exact organic chaos of a real nest — every twig-like groove carved by hand, no two pieces identical.

Rest a tealight or small votive candle in the hollow centre and let the light do the rest. The irregular surface catches and scatters the glow in ways no factory mould could replicate. On a dining table, a reading nook shelf, or a bathroom vanity, it earns a second glance from everyone who sees it.
