Price History
Description
We have picked only the plumpest, ripest cherry tomatoes to stack into these elegant totems to decorate your soirees. Delicious enough to eat, but don’t be fooled - they are in fact cleverly disguised dinner candles made of unscented wax. Bright, playful, and full of charm, these Cherry Tomato candles bring a vibrant pop of colour and effortless elegance to any table or interior setting.
Our Stylist Says
I love these cherry tomato candles for their unexpected pop of colour and playful form. They work particularly well in kitchens or dining areas where a cheerful, informal vibe is desired. Stylistically, they can be paired with natural textures like wood or stone to add warmth, or with minimalist settings to create a bold statement. For practical styling, consider grouping them together in a simple holder or on a tray to keep the look tidy, and light them for gatherings to add ambient light and a touch of colour. They’re versatile enough to sit on a dining table, sideboard, or open shelf, making them a fun and stylish addition to various interior schemes.

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.
