Taper Candles Burgundy 10 Pack

Deep burgundy taper candles bring instant warmth to a table, mantlepiece or quiet evening bath. Made from paraffin wax, they give the room that familiar candlelit softness without adding fragrance, so they sit beautifully beside food, flowers and conversation.

Deep burgundy light, slim and elegant

• The colour feels rich without being loud, suited to winter dinners, festive tables and low-lit evenings.
• The tall taper shape draws the eye upward, adding height to a table setting or sideboard arrangement.
• Use them in pairs for symmetry, or run several down a dining table for a more gathered, ceremonial feel.
• The unscented finish keeps the focus on glow and atmosphere, especially around meals.
• Burgundy pairs naturally with brass, dark wood, ceramic and clear glass holders.

Paraffin wax with a coloured finish

These candles are made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with colour for their burgundy surface. The burn is designed to be clean and even, with an approximate burn time of 7 hours per candle.

Lighting and care

Place each candle upright in a stable, heat-proof holder before lighting. Trim the wick to about 5 mm, keep it away from draughts and anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

The quiet ritual of taper candles

Taper candles have a long place in European table tradition because their shape gives height without taking up much room. The word ‘taper’ refers to the narrowing form, a simple design that turns a practical flame into something graceful. In everyday use, that slender line of light changes the pace of a room. A meal feels more considered, a bath more intentional, a winter evening softer at the edges. Burgundy adds its own mood: warm, deep and a little ceremonial.

Size and details

This is a set of 10 burgundy taper candles. Each candle measures 24.5 cm high and 2.3 cm in diameter. Made in Poland.

A thoughtful host gift

A set of coloured tapers makes an easy, useful gift for someone who loves setting a beautiful table. It suits housewarmings, dinner invitations, festive gatherings and anyone who likes small rituals at home.

Common questions

Do these candles need a holder?
Yes. Use them only in a stable, heat-proof taper candle holder that supports the candle upright.

Are they suitable for dining tables?
Yes. They are unscented, so they will not compete with the aroma of food or drinks.

How can I reduce dripping?
Keep the candle upright, use a well-fitting holder and avoid draughts. Air movement and an uneven angle can affect how any taper candle burns.
