Pillar Candle Ivory 60x120mm 38 Hour Burn Time — Pack of 6

Six ivory pillar candles, each 60 mm across and 120 mm tall, with a rated burn time of 38 hours. A quiet, sculptural presence for a mantelpiece, dining table, or window ledge, the kind of object that earns its place in a room before it's even lit.

Colour and finish

The ivory tone sits between warm white and the palest cream, neither stark nor yellow. It reads as calm and unobtrusive in daylight, and in candlelight it takes on a soft, honeyed quality. The smooth wax surface catches the flame's glow evenly, with no pattern or texture to distract from the form itself.

Presence and proportion

At 60 mm in diameter and 120 mm tall, these are substantial pillars, wide enough to stand steadily without a deep holder, tall enough to hold their own on a mantel or grouped on a tray. The proportions are classic: a height-to-width ratio that reads as grounded rather than tapered, so they suit a formal table setting as naturally as a relaxed shelf arrangement.

Burn characteristics

Each candle is rated to 38 hours. Paraffin wax at this diameter burns inward, forming a wax wall around the melt pool rather than running down the sides, provided the candle is kept out of draughts and the wick is trimmed before each use. That inward burn is what gives a pillar its longevity and its clean silhouette as it ages.

Material and origin

Made in Poland from paraffin wax, which at pillar weight and diameter gives the structural hardness needed to hold the candle's shape through a long burn. These are unscented, so the only thing in the room is light.

Styling and use

Group three on a wooden board at different heights for a table centrepiece, or stand a single candle on a stone plate beside a bath. They suit a fireplace hearth in summer when the grate is empty, and a dining table in winter when the overhead light is too much. Ivory works with almost any palette, linen, slate, terracotta, dark wood.

Stand each candle on a heat-proof holder or plate to catch any wax. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting. Never leave a burning candle unattended or near anything flammable, and keep away from draughts to ensure an even burn.

What's in the set

Six ivory pillar candles, each 60 x 120 mm, 38-hour burn time. Unscented. Made in Poland. Holders are not included.

A considered gift

A set of six gives the recipient enough to use freely rather than save. It suits anyone who lights candles regularly, for dinner, for a quiet evening, or simply because a flame in a room changes the quality of the light. Practical and genuinely used, rather than decorative and forgotten.

Common questions

Are these candles scented?
No. These are unscented paraffin pillar candles.

Do they drip?
A well-made paraffin pillar burns inward rather than down the sides, but any candle can drip if burnt in a draught or left to burn too long in one sitting. Always use a heat-proof base and keep them away from open windows or fans.

How long should I burn them in each sitting?
For an even melt pool, allow the wax to pool to the edge of the candle on the first burn, usually one to two hours for this diameter. Extinguish before the pool becomes too deep, and always trim the wick to 5 mm before relighting.

Can I use these outdoors?
Only in a sheltered spot with no wind. A draught will cause uneven burning and increase the chance of dripping.
