Price History
Description
Root; with sweet, spicy and warm notes from turmeric and ginger roots, our latest member to the Eclectic family evokes memories of the ancient world and the age of exploration. The novel extraction methods of the root oils match this original and pungent fragrance. This candle is encased in a hand-spun polished brass vessel with a white marble lid which is designed with the intention for a second life - to be reused as a contemporary home accessory that lasts a lifetime.
Our Stylist Says
I love this candle for its modern yet eclectic appeal, making it a versatile piece that can elevate both contemporary and industrial interiors. Its sizable form adds a sculptural element to tables, shelves, or mantelpieces without overpowering the space. I recommend styling it alongside textured ceramics, raw wood accents, or metallic accessories to highlight its distinctive character. Practical tips include pairing it with a simple dish or tray to catch any drips and to prolong its life, especially when used as a centrepiece or in a frequently lit setting. It works particularly well in open-plan living areas or minimalist schemes where it can serve as a statement piece that still maintains an understated aesthetic.

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.
