Description
Subtle hand-painted designs elevate an otherwise classic quartet of taper candles. Perfect for a winter wonderland mantlepiece or lovely ambience any time of year. Each candle is hand-painted by artisans working in rural South Africa and the set comes with a card that tells the art studio's story.
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.
