Lilac taper candles turn an ordinary table into a softer, more intentional place to gather. Their tall, slender shape draws the eye upward, while the purple-lilac colour adds a quiet note of ceremony to dinner, a bath tray, or a dark winter evening.

About this product

The lilac glow on the table
  • The colour sits between lilac and violet, with a smooth, over-dipped finish that catches the light softly.
  • The classic taper shape brings height without heaviness, so the table still feels open and easy to talk across.
  • Lit together, the candles create a steady rhythm of small flames, suited to slow meals and evening rituals.
  • The rounded ends and clean sides give them a simple bistro-style look, elegant without feeling formal.
  • They pair beautifully with clear glass, warm brass, plain ceramic, or dark wooden candle holders.
Paraffin wax with an over-dipped finish

These dinner candles are made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with colour for a smooth lilac surface. They are made to a church-candle quality standard, with a tall, clean flame and an approximate burn time of 8 hours per candle.

Lighting and everyday care

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

Candlelight as a small ritual

Taper candles have long belonged at tables, altars, vigils and quiet evening settings because their height makes the flame feel deliberate. The form comes from the idea of narrowing towards the wick, giving a clean vertical line that suits both everyday meals and more ceremonial moments. In a lilac shade, they feel gentle and atmospheric, especially for spring tables, soft romantic settings, or a room where colour is used with restraint.

Size and set details

This is a set of 5 lilac dinner candles. Each candle measures 21 cm tall and is designed to fit most candle holders. Made in Germany.

Common questions

What does over-dipped colour mean?
The candle has a coloured outer layer applied over the wax, giving the surface its smooth lilac finish.
How can I help the candles burn cleanly?
Keep them upright, trim the wick before lighting, and place them away from draughts. A steady flame gives the neatest burn.
