The coiled accessory is crafted out of aluminum materials and is adorned with an antiquated brass finish. Priced at an affordable rate of $12, this Snake Candleholder is a theatrical accessory piece that is crafted to resemble a resting, scaled creature. While its base features a snake head, its top element coils into the creature's curled tail. This vintage-inspired decor item is a perfect fit for eclectic interiors and is set to appeal to art collectors or lovers of unique objects. Each of the [candleholders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qub-candlestick) measures 2" in width, 2.25" in depth and 3" in height. The brass-hued item looks best when paired with black and gold candles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Animal-inspired Home Decor:** The trend of incorporating animal shapes and designs in home decor to create unique and striking accents has disrupted the traditional decor industry. - **Affordable Theatrical Decor:** The trend of creating affordable, theatrical home decor options has disrupted the high-end home decor industry. - **Eclectic Interiors:** The trend of creating eclectic home interiors with a mix of different styles and objects has disrupted the traditional matched decor industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor Industry:** The manufacturers of unique and bold home decor items have disrupted the traditional mass-produced decor industry. - **Art Collectibles Industry:** The trend of incorporating art into home decor has disrupted the traditional art industry and created new opportunities for art collectors. - **Candle Making Industry:** The trend of creating unique and artistic candle designs has disrupted the traditional candle making industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warm Ambient Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflet.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Spooky Candle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-jar-candle.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Adorable Bee-Inspired Candlesticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beeinspired-candlesticks.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Spooky Bong-Shaped Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bong-candle.md) - [Self-Leveling Coconut Wax Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlan-fragrances.md)
