Add intrigue to your next candlelit dinner with this pair of fabulously sculpted candlesticks. Embodying the spiraling helix shape that defines Fred Bould's Twist collection, the holders seem to be in constant motion, their smooth surfaces intensified by flickering candlelight. Our weighty metal alloy makes the perfect medium for holding tall tapers steady and grounded, and the gleaming finish lends refinement to any dinnerware. Choose from two heights, embellish with Twist metal vases and crystal stemware, and your romantic table for two is ready.

• For Candleholders: To remove wax from candleholders, place them in the freezer until chilled and remove wax; wash with a soft cloth in hot soap and water to remove any wax that remains and dry with a soft cloth
• For Peppermills: To clean your mill, wipe its body with a soft, damp cloth; do not immerse it in water; and always allow your mill to dry completely after cleaning and before filling
