Vintage Christmas Candle Card with Anthropomorphic Face & Evergreen

Meet the Cherub Candle: a rosy-cheeked, eyes-closed cherub face melted directly into the wax midway down the candle's body, serenely pursing its lips while literal fire erupts from its skull. Someone in the Victorian era looked at a blue candle, thought 'needs a face,' and produced this. The wax has dramatically dripped down the sides in a way that frames the face like the world's most unsettling portrait, all perched on an ornate metal holder surrounded by pine branches and a decorative star ornament hanging nearby—because when you think 'festive holiday cheer,' obviously a disembodied face being slowly consumed by its own flame is the natural choice. The 'MERRY CHRISTMAS' text, rendered in cheerful gold lettering, is doing heroic and ultimately futile work trying to make this acceptable. Craftsmanship: impeccable. Psychological damage: also impeccable.
