Lyra Candlestick

Product Title

The Lyra Candlestick | Cast Bronze and Silver 

The Hook (Above the Fold)

A silhouette that sings. The Lyra Candlestick is a sculptural interplay of balance and tension. Designed by Peter Fossick, this piece translates the sweeping curves of the ancient musical instrument into a functional object of hand-forged steel and warm, turned timber.

Product Description

The Lyra Candlestick captivates with negative space. Drawing inspiration from the constellation and the classical lyre, the design features two sweeping arms of steel that rise and curve in a delicate embrace. It is a study in verticality, designed to lift the candlelight and cast dramatic, dancing shadows against the wall.

Cast from bronze  by master craftsmen each piece is finished to a high gloss patina that ages beautiful to give a rich patina. This piece will last as long a the ancient pyramids. 

A Material Duet The warm boldness  of the bronze is grounded by the solidity of the base; the plinth provides visual weight and stability, a signature of Fossick’s pioneer status in material craftsmanship.

Atmospheric Sculpture The Lyra is designed to stand alone as a centerpiece or in pairs to flank a mantle. It does not just hold a candle; it frames the flame, turning a simple dinner setting into a piece of theatre.

Why We Love It 

"There is a wonderful tension in the Lyra—it looks delicate, like a drawing in the air, but when you pick it up, you feel the substantial weight of the forged steel. It feels ancient and modern all at once. We love how the metal arms seem to 'cup' the flame without smothering it."
