Libra White Pillar Candle With Metallic Green Ombre Base - 7x19cm

The Libra pillar candle is a 7x19cm column of white paraffin wax with a metallic green ombre finish at the base, fading from a shimmering pewter-green through to soft white at the crown. The candle is poured in Europe using traditional methods and carries a cotton wick sized to produce a clean, bright flame without excessive smoke or soot.

Designed for dining tables, mantels, console tables and bathroom shelving where a decorative candle adds ambient light without scent, the 19cm height sits comfortably alongside taller candlesticks or grouped in threes for layered height. The ombre effect provides visual interest when the candle is unlit, while the metallic flecks in the green base catch surrounding light from windows or other candles.

The paraffin formulation burns at a consistent rate, giving an approximate 105-hour burn time when the wick is trimmed to 5-6mm before each lighting. The 7cm diameter provides stability on flat surfaces without needing a holder, though the candle can also be set into pillar-style holders or hurricane lanterns if preferred. The white-to-green fade pairs well with neutral, coastal and botanical interiors.

What is the burn time?

Approximately 105 hours when the wick is trimmed to 5-6mm before each lighting and the candle is burned in a draught-free environment. Actual burn time varies depending on wick maintenance and ambient conditions.

Is the candle scented?

No. The candle is unscented paraffin wax, designed for ambient decorative light without fragrance.

Does it need a holder?

The 7cm diameter base provides stability on flat surfaces without a holder, but the candle can also be placed in pillar holders, hurricane lanterns or wide candlesticks if preferred.

How should the wick be maintained?

Trim the wick to 5-6mm before each lighting to prevent excessive smoke and ensure a clean, bright flame. Allow the wax pool to reach the edge of the candle on each burn to prevent tunnelling.
