These slender, elegant beeswax tapers are a unique alternative to the standard dinner table candle. NOTE: THE DIAMETER IS VERY SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1/2” (see photos). There is a very slight flare at the bottom edge which I leave intact to accommodate as many 1/2” diameter candle holders as possible. Because 1/2” diameter is an old fashioned candle size, many candle holders have wonky sizing. Please measure your candle holders carefully, and contact me with any size questions before ordering. I’m happy to help, and I don’t accept returns if the candles don’t fit.
This listing is for ONE pair of 12" x 1/2" candles in the color of your choice.
Handmade, one at a time, by me in my Hudson Valley NY studio. Beautiful beeswax candles have a natural honey scent, burn longer and brighter than other types of wax candles, and are considered “dripless,” if burned correctly, undisturbed, away from any drafts, and in a properly sized holder appropriate for burning candles. There is no guarantee that beeswax candles will not drip or run, so appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid melted beeswax getting on tablecloths, surfaces, etc.
Tapered candles in first picture are shown in unbleached, undyed, "Natural Ivory." See other photos for more colors.
