Taper Candles Ivory 10 Pack

Ivory taper candles bring quiet height and soft, steady light to a table, mantelpiece or bath-side evening. Made from paraffin wax with an over-dipped ivory finish, they are a simple way to make an ordinary room feel more intentional.

The look in candlelight

• The ivory tone feels warm and calm, easy to pair with linen, wood, brass, ceramic or clear glass.
• The tall, slim shape draws the eye upwards, giving a dining table a more graceful line.
• The flame is designed to burn cleanly and evenly, with no added scent competing with food or flowers.
• Use them for slow dinners, seasonal table settings, quiet baths or a softer evening by the window.
• The pale colour works across the year, from spring breakfasts to winter suppers.

Paraffin wax with an ivory over-dip

These tapers are made from paraffin wax and finished with an ivory over-dip for a clean, even colour. Paraffin gives a smooth, traditional candle form, while the unscented finish keeps the focus on the glow rather than fragrance.

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 place of taper candlelight

Taper candles have long belonged to the shared table: dinners, vigils, Sabbath candles, winter gatherings and small household rituals. Their appeal is partly practical and partly emotional. The narrow form gives height without taking much visual space, while the flame turns glassware, ceramics and simple food into something slower and more considered. Ivory is one of the most adaptable candle colours, often chosen for its softness, warmth and quiet formality.

Common questions

What kind of holder should I use?
Use a stable taper holder that grips the base firmly and keeps the candle completely upright.

Can I use these candles around food?
Yes, they are unscented, so they suit dining tables where fragrance would feel distracting.

What if the candle starts to drip?
Check that it is upright, away from draughts and seated securely in its holder. Uneven placement or moving air can affect how any taper burns.
