About this product

Soft ivory, clean and simple
  • The ivory shade sits gently in a room, pairing easily with wood, stone, glass and natural textiles.
  • The smooth cylindrical sides give it a clean, unfussy presence on a dinner table or shelf.
  • A visible wick rises from the tapered top, keeping the look classic and pared back.
  • The pale finish catches light softly, so it works well with both minimal and layered interiors.
A steady candle ritual

With a burn time of around 20 hours, this pillar candle is made for slow evenings rather than quick moments. Light it for dinner, quiet reading, or a simple end-of-day reset, always on a heat-proof holder or plate.

Paraffin wax, dipped finish

Made from paraffin wax, this is a dipped pillar with a smooth surface and a classic, solid form. The shape is designed to stand on its own in a suitable holder, giving the candle presence as an object as well as a source of flame.

How to light and care for it

Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting. Keep the candle away from draughts and anything flammable, and never leave it burning unattended.

Let the wax pool form evenly where possible, then extinguish the flame carefully and allow the wax to cool before moving it.

Why pillars endure

Pillar candles have stayed close to daily ritual because they are both practical and atmospheric. They appear on altars, restaurant tables, mantelpieces and bedside trays, not because they demand attention, but because they hold a room with quiet structure. In ivory, the form feels especially serene: a simple column of light for meals, gatherings, seasonal decorating or a slower evening at home.

Common questions

Does it need a candle holder?
Yes. Use it on a stable, heat-proof holder or plate to protect the surface underneath.
Can I place it inside a lantern?
Only use it in a lantern with enough ventilation and space around the flame. Keep it away from anything flammable and never leave it unattended.

    A small candle with a bit of Christmas meaning behind it

    I got these Bolsius red pillar candles specifically for Christmas Eve, to place one in the window as part of the Irish window candle tradition. It's a simple thing, but it adds a really nice, quiet atmosphere and makes the evening feel a bit more meaningful. The candles themselves are solid a nice deep red colour that

    Great value

    Great quality candles, these already have the holes at the base, making them easy to place on your holders, watch those sizes though! These were smaller than I wanted , but that was my measuring error, but I did actually need this size elsewhere, great value whichever you purchase though

    Last for ages

    Left one to burn, just out of sheer curiosity, and got 3 days and 2 nights out of one. Impressed. Expensive, but worth it. No dripping, spitting, or major smoking. On my repeat list .
