La Gondola, recycled oak wine barrel stave candleholder
Stil Novo’s philosophy has always been “Artistry and attention to detail". We are a family business dedicated to create the highest quality woodcrafts and specialty pieces.
We love the fact that we are able to help the environment by recycling the raw material and to turn it into an object of ‘practical elegance’ at the same time.
The ‘Gondola’ is one of our last original creations. It has a trendy look and stylish silhouette that will harmonize with any interior design, from classical to contemporary.
Our finely handcrafted items are made from oak wine barrel staves from France. The solid wood of an oak wine barrel has a very distinctive element of charm that is conveyed into every object we create. The natural arch of a barrel stave confers striking finesse to the silhouette of each of our designs.
Every individual barrel carries the signs of its unique history in every stave. As no one-barrel stave or band is the same, each piece might show natural imperfections, slight variations in color, grain & dimensions, all adding to the uniqueness of every item.
The red wine previously held in the barrels stains the upper side of the Gondola conferring its particular character to it and it’s complemented with a rich Cherry Chocolate stain.
Perfect as an original gift idea, or as a very elegant centerpiece for any dining table, fireplace mantel or side table.
Each one is individually handcrafted sanded back to its original wood and creatively reinvented.
Five Candle Dim. 28" X 4" (not including width of the base) (each barrel stave is different so the size is approximate). Glass holders are included in the price. (Please note: the style and type of glass holder you’ll receive depends on availability and might NOT be the exact kind shown in the pictures).
We welcome your requests for customized orders, special commissions and personalized ideas.
Every piece is made to order, therefore please allow about 14 business days to manufacture.
