Originally conceived as a candelabra, Agnes takes its inspiration from the fictional heroine of the same name, a worker in the world's oldest profession during the 1849 California Gold Rush. The modular system would allow Agnes easy setup in her makeshift "workspace." In this version, glowing glass tubes replace the candles. Articulated joints allow the glass to be arranged in a multitude of ways.
The backstory sold me, but the modular pieces are what won me over—I rearranged it three different ways before settling on a setup that feels like it belongs in a Gold Rush saloon. It's a conversation starter on my mantel, and the craftsmanship is solid enough that I don't worry about it tipping.
The candle holder's modular design makes it feel like a tiny sculpture I can rearrange whenever I want, and the inspiration from the Gold Rush era adds a story that makes it more than just decor. I've already moved the pieces three times since it arrived.
The candle holder’s modular design is what sold me—I can stack it differently depending on the mood, and the 1849 gold rush backstory adds a quirky talking point when guests ask about it. It feels heavier than I expected for its size, which gives it a sturdy, almost museum-like quality.
