Melting skull of the damned

What sins had he once committed for 'hellish damnation' to befall him – and did the heat of the candle wick melt his very skull? With this eerie candleholder 'Wick of the Damned' the mind turns automatically to great spiritual or physical doom. The 16 cm high, 9 cm wide and 10 cm deep skull candle holder 'Wick of the Damned' spreads a sinister atmosphere even by the light of a single candle. It is made from carefully hand-painted polyresin and itself looks like molten candle wax. The candle holder on top of the skull takes a candle of approximately 2 cm in diameter.

Memento mori by candlelight

In the flickering light of a taper candle, the melting skull comes fully into its own – the traces of wax appear to continue into the real candle, while shadows creep across the hollow eye sockets. On the dining table, the mantelpiece or the desk, it becomes a memento mori object, a reminder of mortality that brings cinematic horror aesthetics into the room. At Halloween in particular, it becomes the centrepiece of any table; combined with candles, dark cloths and further skull motifs, a complete Gothic display takes shape. An expressive gift idea for Gothic collectors and lovers of dark home accessories.
