Black Iron Flat Star Candle Holder vs Brass Candle Holder Flat Base

Buy the Black Iron Flat Star if you want a rustic, farmhouse look and a wide base that sits steady on a shelf or table. Buy the Brass Flat Base if you want a simple, hand-made piece in antiqued brass that disappears into a room and needs no assembly. The iron star is the more decorative of the two and the heavier-looking; the brass holder is plainer and warmer in tone. Both hold a single taper and are small accent pieces, so pick on style and finish rather than on durability claims.

• Choose the Black Iron Flat Star if you want a rustic, star-shaped accent for a farmhouse or primitive room and don't mind a quick assembly.
• Choose the Brass Flat Base if you want a quiet, hand-made antiqued brass holder that blends in and arrives ready to use.
