Know before you buy
Yes, these candles are crafted with a specialized wax blend designed to resist dripping. However, for the best performance, ensure they are placed in a draft-free area, as air currents can cause even high-quality taper candles to drip.
These candles are engineered for a smokeless burn. To maintain this, we recommend trimming the wick to about a quarter-inch before each use to prevent carbon buildup.
The 9-inch candles are ideal for standard dining tables or shorter candle holders, while the 12-inch option provides a more dramatic, elevated look for formal settings or taller candelabras.
Hand-dipping creates a layered, dense structure that burns more slowly and evenly than mass-produced molded candles. This traditional method also results in a smoother, more refined finish.
Yes, these candles are designed to fit standard taper holders. Because they are hand-dipped, there may be very slight variations in the base diameter, but they are crafted to sit securely in most universal taper bases.
