Hand-Carved Plaster Tea Light Sculpture

$98.00

Hearth No. 3 explores movement, balance, and light through a miniature architectural form. Designed, handmade, and hand-carved by artist Gianna Valente, the sculpture combines layered geometric planes with a carved staircase that appears to travel through the structure toward the elevated tea light.

The natural white plaster and tactile, irregular surface are contrasted by a deep red tea light and coordinating red-tipped matches. When illuminated, the flame becomes the focal point of the sculpture, casting soft light across its carved steps, recessed spaces, and handmade textures.

A discreet match-striking surface is located on the underside of the sculpture, keeping the lighting experience integrated into the design without interrupting its architectural exterior.

Both a functional tea light holder and a small-scale work of art, Hearth No. 3 can be displayed on a shelf, coffee table, mantel, or bedside table—with or without the candle lit.

Care

Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, cleaning products, and prolonged exposure to moisture. Plaster is naturally porous and should be handled with care.

Candle and Match Safety

Remove all stored matches from the sculpture before lighting the tea light. Use the underside match-striking surface only while the sculpture is unlit, completely cool, and securely held. Return the sculpture to a stable, heat-resistant surface before bringing the lit match to the tea light.

Use only a standard tea light in its original metal cup. Never leave a burning candle or match unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials.
