The taller Pilar — 2 by 4 inches of natural sandstone, handcrafted in India, Fair Trade certified.

Narrower and higher than its companion — three offset tiers stacked into a slim column — it lifts a taper above a table's clutter. Two Pilars at two heights is the simplest complete arrangement in the range.

At a glance

  • Natural sandstone, handcrafted in India
  • Fair Trade Certified
  • 2 x 4 inches — tall, narrow, three stacked tiers
  • Matte, granular surface
  • Fits standard taper candles

How to use it

Pair it with the small Pilar for a two-height grouping, or use it alone where a table needs a vertical.

Keep it dry, brush rather than wipe, and remove wax only when it is completely cold.

✨ Temple Tip

Two objects at the same height read as a pair. Two at different heights read as a composition. That single difference is what separates a set table from a styled one.

Questions we get asked

How tall is it?

4 inches high on a 2 inch base.

Can I combine it with the small Pilar?

Yes — they are designed as companions at two heights.

How do I clean sandstone?

Brush dust off. Avoid wet cleaning and remove wax only when cold.

Is it stable?

Yes, though it is narrow. Give it a settled surface.

The tall half of a pair. #TempleOfDesire

In short

The Pilar Tear is the taller of the two Pilar candle holders, cut from natural sandstone, handcrafted in India and Fair Trade Certified. It measures 2 by 4 inches, with three offset tiers stacked into a slim column, and takes standard taper candles. It is often bought alongside the 3-inch Pilar Small so a table has two heights rather than one. It costs $115.95. The base is narrow and needs a level, settled surface, and like all sandstone it should be brushed dry rather than wiped wet.
