Butterfly Candleholder

Description

Inspired by our Reverie collection, this 1.5" high Butterfly candle holder is a new addition to the Vertu Collectibles. Crafted in solid brass, the base features a butterfly—a symbol of an inextinguishable soul that is always drawn towards the light.

I believe that lighting candles for dinner sets a tone. Dinner with candlelight creates an atmosphere that is unhurried and encourages conversation. It should not be reserved for special occasions.

Our brass candleholders are finished to a high shine, but have not been coated to prevent tarnishing. Tarnishing is a natural reaction that happens when certain metals are exposed to the air over time. We intentionally chose not to apply a clear coating, because we appreciate the natural aging of brass, as it adds a lovely authenticity to these pieces. The degree of tarnish on each candleholder will differ depending on how much time has passed, and on the moisture levels in the air. If you wish, you can clean the brass and restore its original luster by using lemon and baking soda or a metal cleaning solution.

Reverie

This piece is derived from the Reverie Tenet. Floating between reality, fantasy, and memory. Connect our conscious and unconscious. Seek out what lights us up. Seek what gives us energy. Elevated positive energy is the catalyst of change that allows us to reconnect and align with our souls to create joy. These symbols evoke, rather than just describe, Joy.

Spade

The spade represents the idiom "in spades". It's the energy catalyst, the initiator.

Butterfly

This butterfly is meant to celebrate the soul and what gives our life meaning. In celebration of our own soul’s search for the light of our life purpose, like the Myth of Psyche in Greek mythology, following her bliss. Aligning and Re-connecting with our Soul; the absolute, undeniable, irrevocable connection with our essence. They can represent the defiant shout that our soul is ours alone to fuel and fire.

It also celebrates the souls we cherish and keep close to us: a soul mate, our children, our parents. It is cathartic when grieving the loss of a beloved soul. It honors the birth of a new soul. In friendship, in love, in grief, in joy, for what is a soul but the metamorphosis of the individual from the divine; the beyond, between, and the after of everything this life encompasses. There is an end to life, but not of love.

Triple Butterfly Triskele

The three butterflies together represent three winged souls of inspiration: Mneme (memory), Aiode (Music) and Melete. Melete is harder to define-if you look up that ancient Greek word you’ll see many translations: practice/occasion/dance/ritual. But, I see it as that “thing” that is particular to you that gets you into the flow where time has no end and anything is possible. Whatever that “thing” is to you-drawing, meditation, art… It’s the “thing” that allows you to find yourself. To feed yourself. That’s Melete. Together those winged souls of inspiration: Music, Memory and “your thing”… Will incite you to daydream, to create, to celebrate, to feel the rapture of being ALIVE.
