Know before you buy
Yes, these candles feature a standard 7/8-inch base, which is designed to fit the vast majority of traditional taper candle holders.
These candles have an approximate burn time of one hour per inch, meaning each 12-inch taper will last for about 12 hours of total burn time.
Yes, they are crafted to be drip-free, provided they are kept away from drafts, fans, or air conditioning vents that can cause the flame to flicker and wax to spill.
Because these candles are meticulously hand-dipped 35 times, minor variations in thickness and shape are a natural result of the artisanal process rather than a defect.
These candles are made from high-grade paraffin wax, which is chosen for its ability to provide a clean, consistent burn.
