Price History
Description
This vibrant asparagus bunch may look delicious enough to eat, but don't be fooled! They are in fact disguised dinner candles, made of unscented wax and perfectly tapered to sit in candle holders.
Our Stylist Says
I love these asparagus candles for their playful yet sophisticated aesthetic. They work particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, where their unique shape adds a light touch of humour and elegance. They’re great as a centrepiece on a dinner table or as an unexpected decor detail on a mantle or shelf. For styling tips, consider pairing them with neutral tableware or greenery to make the green pop, and keep surrounding accessories simple to let the candles be the focal point. Their size makes them versatile, so they can fit seamlessly into both everyday settings and more curated display arrangements.

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.
