Description
Women working in a coastal South Africa art studio draw inspiration from gilded canvases when choosing the colors for this minimalist set of taper candles. They paint each one by hand for a set of accents that bring a glow to any table setting whether you light them or not.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African Art began as a private educational institution in 1964 to promote cross-cultural understanding in the social sciences and arts. Founded by Warren M. Robbins, it was known as the Museum of African Art and located on Capitol Hill in a townhouse that had been the home of Frederick Douglass, the African American abolitionist and statesman. In 1979 the museum became part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
