Candelabra Velvet Challah Cover with Three Swarovski Stones #135

Navy velvet under a single embroidered candelabra, with three Swarovski stones set down the center of the design. Velvet is the reason this version reads heavier than its brocade twin: the pile is matte and deep, so the stones are the only thing on the face that returns light, and they do it against a dark ground that makes the effect obvious from across the room. The motif itself is unfussy — one candelabra, centered, nothing crowding it.

Small is 14.5 by 17.5, medium 15.5 by 19.5, large 19.5 by 23.5. Most families land on the medium. The large earns its keep on a long table or where the challah board is wide enough that a medium cover would sit inside its edges instead of over them.

Navy is a practical colour for a cover that sees wine, crumbs and small hands every week, and it does not fight with a patterned tablecloth the way a pale fabric can. The candelabra design is one of Malchut's steadier sellers for exactly that reason.
