Description
These are four slim paraffin dinner candles, each 2.2cm across and 25cm tall, finished in dip dye bands that give a plain taper far more character. The candles are multicoloured, and no two in the pack carry their bands in the same order: two split into three neat blocks, while the other two meet in a soft curve, so the four look related rather than identical. At the foot of each candle the wax is fluted into fine vertical ridges, a small detail you only notice up close.
Their 25cm height suits a dining table, where they stand tall enough to clear a low vase of flowers or a tray of tealights without crowding the place settings. Grouped in mismatched candlesticks, the four make a relaxed centrepiece for a long table; split between rooms, a pair on a sideboard and a pair on a mantelpiece, they carry the same mixed palette through the house. They suit anyone who likes colour but would rather not commit to a single shade, and a pack of four makes an easy gift for a host or a friend who has just moved.
Each candle is hand made in 100% paraffin and burns on a 100% cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 9 hours. At 2.2cm across they need a holder with a socket made for slim dinner candles; a wider socket will leave them leaning. The styling props shown are not included. For an easy look, mix brass and ceramic holders of different heights so the tapers stand at staggered levels and the colour blocks fall at different points.
