Provenance
Printed wood pillar candle holders in beige, with a jewelled ornamental surface and metal ring handles. Gaura in Sanskrit names the quality of fair, pale, golden-warm tone: not the cold white of marble but the warmth of natural linen, of aged ivory, of a Rajasthani haveli wall photographed in late afternoon. It is the colour before it has been intensified - the base quality, the ground from which deeper tones emerge. In Sanskrit poetry, gaura describes the specific warmth of the fair tone: pale but luminous, never cold.
The Gaura holders carry a jewelled ornamental print on a warm beige ground. Where other colourways in this collection announce themselves, the beige settles the ornament quietly. The print is present - visible close up, warm from a distance - but the dominant quality is the ground itself. The candlelight improves this surface: the beige deepens slightly with warmth, the print comes forward, the object improves as the evening progresses.
Disclaimer
- These holders are handcrafted in wood with a printed surface. Variations in tone and colour are a natural feature of the process.
- Minor differences in print registration or surface texture should be understood as the signature of individual craft, not a defect.
