The Tentacle Candlestick Holder is Perfect for Nautical-Themed Homes

— July 5, 2011 — Art & Design
I have to admit that I find the Tentacle Candlestick Holder a little bit disturbing, as I am sure many others will also. Considering that it has a very dark presence thanks to its dark finish and slithering pose, it isn't too surprising that some would consider it frightening. When grouped with the other skeletal and snaky candle holders in this collection, the scary intention is pretty undeniable.

Designed by Etsy-user Dellamorteco, the Tentacle Candlestick Holder on its own can take on a more innocent nautical theme, especially if paired with some brighter whites and navy blue pieces in a cozy home. A bold statement home decor piece, it measures 10 inches tall and is made from bonded bronze. I especially like the illusion of movement created in the Tentacle Candlestick Holder's pose.
