Pillar Candle Ivory 80x250mm 160 Hour Burn Time – 6 Pack

A tall ivory pillar candle from Poland, 80 mm across and 250 mm high, with a rated burn time of 160 hours. Before it is ever lit, it earns its place, a clean, sculptural column that sits as naturally on a mantelpiece as it does at the centre of a dinner table.

Colour and finish

Ivory is quieter than white: a warm, slightly creamy tone that reads as calm rather than stark. It suits natural linens, pale stone, aged wood, and dark surfaces equally well. The surface is smooth and even, with the gentle sheen of solid paraffin wax.

Size and presence

At 80 mm wide and 250 mm tall, this is a substantial candle, broad enough to stand without a holder gripping it, tall enough to be seen across a room. It has the proportions of a proper pillar: not a taper, not a tea light, but something that anchors a space. On a mantel it reads as a considered object; on a dining table it holds the eye without blocking conversation.

Burn characteristics

The 160-hour burn time is the defining practical fact here. This is not a candle you replace weekly, lit for a few hours each evening, it will last through many months of use. A well-made pillar burns inward, leaving a wax wall around the flame and a steady melt pool at the centre. Trim the wick to around 5 mm before each lighting for a clean, even flame and to keep the pool from widening too quickly.

Material and make

Made in Poland from paraffin wax, which is the traditional choice for pillar candles: harder and more heat-stable than softer waxes, it holds the column's shape through long burns and resists slumping in a warm room. The form is unscented, so the wax itself is the whole experience, light, warmth, and the quiet ritual of the flame.

Styling and use

Stand it on a heat-proof holder or plate to catch any wax that runs. It suits a fireplace surround, a bathroom shelf, a dining table, or a windowsill grouping. Pair it with shorter pillars or votives at different heights for a layered effect, or let a single tall column stand alone. Never leave a burning candle unattended or near curtains, paper, or anything flammable.

A considered gift

A 160-hour pillar candle is a genuinely lasting gift, practical enough to be used daily, substantial enough to feel generous. It suits anyone who takes care over their home, and it wraps and presents well without needing much else around it.

Common questions

Is this candle scented?
No. It is unscented paraffin wax, the focus is entirely on light and form.

Does it need a special holder?
It needs a flat, heat-proof surface or a plate beneath it to catch drips. A standard pillar candle holder sized for an 80 mm base will work well.

How should I store it between uses?
Keep it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can soften the wax and alter the colour over time.
