On a mantel, they add symmetry or contrast. Try styling them with a mirror or framed artwork for a chic, balanced look. Their sculptural silhouette also makes them a brilliant addition to styled shelves or console tables. Pair them with stacked books, ceramics, or small vases for a curated, lived-in look.
If you're planning a wedding or celebration, the Margo holders are a beautiful way to bring height and candlelight to your tables.
