These high quality, sturdy Pier 1 Imports tealight holders are a find indeed! Constructed of high quality metal, mounted on a sturdy metal base, and lined with a velour underside, you and your furniture will stay safe while enjoying the beauty of candlelight with this unique pair. One of the holders has a unique anomaly in the metal one side, already there at the time of purchase (see photo). These are a whimsical holiday accent or for any occasion! These have been used only a time or two, and with battery operated candles, I believe.
