Product Insights
This 10-inch tall cement candleholder from Simons Maison offers a strong vertical presence and deliberate textural contrast with soft fabrics, wood, metals, and greenery. At $25 CAD, it is 45% taller than a comparable product from Dunelm for about $11 more. Its 3.75-inch flat top doubles as a pedestal for small decorative objects or jewelry, and it accepts standard candles up to 3.25 inches. Made from dense cement with foam pads for stability, each piece is unique with natural variations in shade and texture that develop a personal patina over time. However, the cement is unsealed and requires a concrete sealer before first use to prevent wax staining; it is heavy but chip-prone if knocked against hard surfaces, and best stored in a cool, dry, shaded place. Wax and impact leave marks that contribute to each piece's unique aging process.
Verified claims
- Sealing
- Apply a concrete sealer before first use to prevent wax staining.
- Cleaning
- Spot-clean with a pH-neutral soap and a soft cloth; avoid vinegar, bleach, and abrasive sponges, which permanently etch and discolor raw concrete.
- Patina
- Over time, wax absorbed by unsealed cement can leave faint shadows that become a one-of-a-kind patina rather than a defect.
- Durability
- Heavy but chip-prone and best stored in a cool, dry, shaded place.
- Candle size fit
- Designed for standard 3-inch candles; accepts sizes up to 3.25 inches.
- Pedestal reuse
- When not holding a candle, the 3.75-inch flat top doubles as a minimalist display stand for small decorative objects such as a geode, sculpture, or seasonal ornament.
- Textural contrast
- The raw cement finish creates deliberate textural contrast with soft naturals like linen and warm wood, creamy ceramics, and reflective metals such as brass or glass.
- Material character
- Cement holder has natural variations in texture and shade and develops a wax patina over time.
- Vertical presence
- 10-inch height offers a strong vertical presence for a balanced focal point on a console or shelf.
- Height value
- At $25 CAD, 10 tall—45% taller than Dunelm Large for ~$11 more.
- Care requirements
- A sealed holder used occasionally stays protected for 1-2 years, while a holder lit nightly may need resealing every 6-12 months; reseal when water droplets no longer bead on the surface.
- Appearance
- The holder has a matte, porous travertine-like texture and a natural gray/travertine tone.
- Stability
- Dense cement and foam pads resist tipping on narrow surfaces.
- Chip risk
- Cement can chip if knocked against hard surfaces.
- Natural variation
- No two pieces have identical texture and shade.
- Surface protection
- Pre-applied foam pads on the underside keep the heavy cement base from scratching or scuffing tabletops and eliminate the need for a separate felt or cork protector.
