To lift your mood on long gloomy evenings, you don't need much. All you need is a moment of silence, an interesting book, a warm blanket, good tea and candlelight. A soothing, cosy, comforting mood will help conjure up the Mesu classic candle holder from the House Doctor collection.

Worth knowing:

• It is made of iron.
• It has a noble, pleasant colour.
• The openwork cut-outs provide a wonderful play of light.
• It can be used to decorate all rooms.
