Are the Inweder taper candle holders real brass?

No. The Amazon UK listing says they are cast iron with an antique gold effect, under a title that calls them brass. They have the look of old brass, not the metal.

What size candle fits the Inweder taper candle holders?

The listing gives a 2cm hole. Measure the base of your tapers before you order; it does not say whether a slightly wider candle can be pushed in.

How tall are the Inweder taper candle holders?

8.5cm, on a 6.5cm square base, so they are low and stable rather than tall. The pair weighs 0.54kg according to the listing.

Is it worth it?

Yes, for a pair of low, weighty taper holders in a warm metal finish at the quiet end of a Scandi Christmas. The Inweder holders are forged iron with a hammered surface, 8.5cm tall, with felt pads so they do not scratch the table. The catch is in the name: the listing calls them brass, and then says plainly that they are cast iron with an antique gold effect. They look the part; they are not brass.

Is it for you?

Get it if

A side table or mantel where a tall candlestick would be in the way
A Scandi or cottage Christmas that wants warm metal without shine
Anyone who wants weight: at 8.5cm they are low enough not to tip

Skip it if

Anyone who wants real brass that will age — these are painted iron
A table centrepiece for eight, where a set of three or more taller holders carries better
Thick dinner candles: the hole is 2cm, and the listing gives no tolerance

The honest read

What wins you over

Forged iron, heavy and stable, by the listing's description
A hammered, intentionally uneven finish, so the two are not identical
Felt pads on the base to protect the table
Dispatched by Amazon, with a standard Add to Basket button at the time of checking

Where it gives

They are cast iron with an antique gold effect, not brass: the listing says so itself under a title that calls them brass
The hole is 2cm; measure the base of your tapers, because the listing gives that figure and nothing wider
At 8.5cm tall they are candle holders, not candlesticks, and will not read as a pair across a long table
