Inspired by folklore, nature and timeless symbolism, this Crow & Rose Candle Mat combines striking embroidery with practical everyday use.

Measuring approximately 8 inches in diameter, this handmade mat provides a beautiful place to display candles, crystal collections, ritual tools or seasonal decorations while helping to protect surfaces from wax drips and scratches. (Always use candles in an appropriate heat-resistant holder.)

The elegant design features a circle of embroidered crows surrounded by blooming roses, creating a balance between mystery, beauty and the ever-changing cycles of life.

Folklore & Symbolism

Throughout history, crows have appeared in myths and legends around the world. Far from being symbols of misfortune alone, they are often admired for their remarkable intelligence and adaptability.

Traditionally, crows are associated with:

• Wisdom and knowledge
• Intelligence and problem-solving
• Transformation and personal growth
• Adaptability
• Communication
• Remembering and learning from the past

The surrounding roses offer a beautiful contrast and have long symbolised:

• Love and compassion
• Courage
• Beauty
• Passion
• Balance between strength and gentleness

Together, the crow and the rose remind us that wisdom and kindness can exist side by side, and that growth often comes through embracing both life's challenges and its joys.

Whether displayed on your altar, used beneath a favourite candle or simply enjoyed as a decorative piece, this mat celebrates the beauty of nature and traditional symbolism.

Lovingly handmade by Maeve in Yorkshire for Masterful Maeve, every candle mat is individually embroidered, making each one beautifully unique.
