An iconic design, the large Hobart Candlestick was designed by Robert Welch in 1961. This trio of candlesticks is made up of a Hobart Candlestick Large, Hobart Candlestick Medium, Hobart Candlestick Small and a set of three suitably sized candles. The distinctive silhouettes remain a striking reminder of the best of mid-century British design. Now part of our commemorative Legacy Collection, which includes other cast iron pieces designed from the sixties to the eighties.

Design Notes

The Hobart candlestick is an original Robert Welch design, from his 1961 Campden Designs range of cast iron pieces. This trio of candlesticks is made up of a Hobart Candlestick Large, Hobart Candlestick Medium, Hobart Candlestick Small and a set of three suitably sized candles.

The cast iron range helped Robert break into new markets and sold internationally in large quantities. The tazza-shaped fruit bowl was especially well received in Denmark. Images of these had featured in the Decorative Art Yearbook 1964 and not long afterwards a letter arrived from design retailer Hagbarth Skjalm Petersen, who ordered two dozen for his shop in Copenhagen - Skjalm and Robert became, and remained close friends.

The candlestick and nutcracker were eventually renamed ‘Hobart’ when relaunched in the 1990s, after a small break in production, as a tribute to Skjalm whose first name was pronounced similarly.

Product Care & How-to Guides

Caring for Cast Iron Products:
• Use a dry microfibre cloth, (dampened for more stubborn marks) and dried immediately after cleaning.
• Apply a small amount of mineral oil to avoid rust developing. Please remove any excess oil.
• Always avoid scouring with pads or abrasive cleaners as this will scratch the surface and encourage rusting.
• Ensure products remain dry and are not kept in humid conditions.
