Excellent candles, as always, from this wonderful company. Never a breakage, never a wrong colour, always professional with prompt delivery and SUCH bargain prices & glorious shades: we particularly love black, sand, pumpkin, jade and the silver/gold options, when they're available. Amazing! haha xx

★★★★★ S.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…

★★★★★ A.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

★★★★★ L.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 .

A few things often kept alongside this piece.
About this product
The mood on the table
- The colour reads rich and wine-dark, pairing naturally with brass, dark wood, clear glass or simple ceramic holders.
- The slim vertical shape adds height without taking over the table, leaving space for plates, flowers and conversation.
- The flame is tall and clean, giving soft movement rather than harsh brightness.
- Bordeaux works especially well for darker evenings, festive meals, Valentine’s settings and intimate dinners.
- Use a single candle for a small ritual, or group several together for a fuller, more ceremonial glow.
Paraffin wax with an over-dipped colour finish
These candles are made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with colour, so the Bordeaux tone has a smooth, even surface. They are made to a church-candle standard, designed to burn cleanly and non-drip when used correctly, away from draughts and in a suitable holder.
Lighting and care
Stand each candle upright in a stable, heat-proof candle holder or on a heat-proof plate. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting, keep the flame away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
A small European table ritual
Taper candles belong to a long tradition of table light, from formal dining rooms to simple family meals where the act of lighting a candle marks a change in pace. Their height draws the eye upward, while the flame keeps the atmosphere low and close. In European homes and restaurants, coloured dinner candles are often used seasonally: deeper tones for winter, red shades for celebration, softer colours for spring. Bordeaux carries that same sense of occasion without feeling loud.
Size, burn time and details
- Set of five dinner candles.
- Each candle measures 21 cm tall.
- Approximately 8 hours’ burn time per candle.
- Designed to fit most candle holders.
- Made in Germany.
A thoughtful host gift
A set of coloured tapers makes an easy, considered gift for hosts, housewarmings and people who enjoy setting a beautiful table. It is practical, but still feels personal, especially in a shade made for candlelit evenings.
