Mill

Designer: Trevor Duncan working

Materials: Machined cast iron, chemically blackened and rose-gold plated

Partner: Adam Veevers, silversmiths, Vyse Street, Birmingham

The Mill candlestick draws inspiration from historic portable candleholders and incorporates a place to hold a standard sized matchbox.

Machined from solid cast iron billet the design is purposely heavy to ensure stability, each candlestick is hand finished prior to chemically blackening the surface. A limited edition is finished in rose gold plate.

The design of the Mill candlestick references the architecture of Manchester’s Victorian textile mills and specifically Victoria Mill in the Ancoats region of the city.
