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

The Libra White Pillar Candle is a 7cm diameter, 19cm tall pillar candle in 100% paraffin wax with a metallic silver ombre finish at the base that transitions to white at the top. The candle is manufactured in Europe using traditional moulding methods and a specially designed wick engineered for a clean, steady flame with minimal smoke output.

Designed for display on mantels, sideboards, console tables and shelving where the candle becomes part of a styled arrangement rather than a primary light source, the 7cm diameter gives it presence without overwhelming smaller surfaces. The 19cm height positions the flame above most tabletop arrangements, making it suitable for dining table centrepieces when grouped with lower candles or votives. The metallic silver base adds a reflective accent under daylight and candlelight, catching light from nearby windows or adjacent candles.

The ombre finish is applied during the moulding process and transitions gradually from a brushed silver at the base to pure white paraffin at the top third of the candle. This gives the appearance of a dipped or painted finish but is integral to the wax itself. The candle weighs 621g and burns for approximately 105 hours when used in a draught-free environment, which equates to around 21 five-hour sessions or 15 seven-hour burns before replacement is needed. The paraffin wax is formulated to burn evenly without tunnelling, provided the wick is trimmed to 5-6mm before each use.

How long does the candle burn?

The candle has an approximate burn time of 105 hours when used in a draught-free environment. Actual burn time varies depending on airflow, wick trimming and the duration of each burn session.

Does the ombre finish affect the burn quality?

No. The metallic silver ombre is integral to the paraffin wax and does not produce additional smoke or residue when burning. The wick is designed to work with the wax formulation regardless of the colour gradient.

How should the wick be maintained?

Trim the wick to 5-6mm before each lighting. This prevents the flame from smoking and ensures an even burn. If the flame becomes too tall or starts to flicker excessively, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, trim the wick and re-light.

Is the candle scented?

No. This is an unscented paraffin pillar candle. It produces minimal odour when burning, making it suitable for use during meals or in rooms where fragrance would interfere with other scents.
