Heal's
D.S. & DURGA Tomb of the Eagles Candle
£60
Price History
Description
Wild coastal air, crushed clover and wind-battered florals come together in this atmospheric D.S. & Durga candle. Inspired by the ancient Tomb of the Eagles on Orkney, it captures the raw beauty of the North Sea landscape. Sea spray over lichen-covered rocks, delicate sea pinks clinging to cliffside cracks and the soft greenness of grass and sweet cicely carried on the wind. Fresh, herbal and quietly mysterious, it evokes a place where history, myth and nature meet. Top notes: clover & cold sea. Heart notes: sea pinks & sweet cicely. Base notes: island moss, bones & grass.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this candle for its earthy, grounding aesthetic-it's perfect for adding a touch of ritualistic calm to a relaxed, natural-inspired space. The subtle dark and mossy green tones work well in interiors featuring organic textures, such as wood or stone, and can easily fit into boho, rustic, or even modern minimal schemes. Practical styling tips include placing it on a wooden tray or in a brass holder to enhance its natural vibe, or grouping it with other candles and foliage for an effortless, layered look. It’s especially effective when used in spaces designed for unwinding, like a cosy corner or a meditation nook, where its subtle fragrance and tranquil appearance can be appreciated.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
