Product Details

The legend of Faust, the scholar who bargains with a devilish spirit for knowledge and power, has left behind a lasting cast of characters in folklore and literature — including the idea of a "familiar," a spirit companion often pictured taking animal form. Faust's Familiar Candlestick Candle Stick Holder draws on that gothic, literary image, sculpted as a watchful black cat standing 6.69 inches tall with a 3.11-by-4.49-inch footprint.

The piece is hand-finished in black resin, and the sculpting captures a cat in a poised, alert posture — ears forward, gaze fixed, the kind of watchfulness that fits the "familiar" idea well. It functions as a candlestick holder, sized to seat a standard taper candle securely at the top of the sculpted form.

As decor, it suits anyone who likes cats, gothic literature, or dark, atmospheric pieces generally, whether or not the Faust legend specifically is the draw. It reads well on a dining table as a centerpiece, on a dresser, or as part of an altar setting alongside other candle holders and sculptural pieces — a mood piece built around a folklore reference rather than a literal or functional claim of any kind.

Set it on a stable, heat-safe surface before lighting a candle, and choose a taper that seats securely in the holder rather than one too narrow or too wide. As with any candle holder, never leave a lit candle burning unattended, and keep it clear of curtains, papers, or other flammable materials nearby.

Once a candle has burned down, let the wax cool completely before lifting it away, then wipe the black resin with a soft, dry cloth to keep the sculpted detail sharp. Stored indoors, away from direct sun and damp conditions, the finish holds its color well over time.
