    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

    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…

    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 .

    Excellent

    10/10. Really great quality - burn down without wax dripping down the sides unlike ones we've had for Christmas. So I ordered more.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

The look in candlelight
  • The navy colour feels composed and evening-ready, especially against brass, clear glass or pale ceramic holders.
  • A smooth over-dipped finish gives the outside a clean, even depth of colour.
  • The long taper form draws the eye upwards, adding elegance without crowding the table.
  • White wicks and rounded ends keep the look simple, classic and easy to style.
  • Use them for winter dinners, quiet celebrations, or any evening that deserves a softer pace.
Paraffin wax with a clean flame

These candles are made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with navy colour. They are designed as non-drip dinner candles and burn with a tall, clean flame for approximately 8 hours per candle, provided they are used upright in a suitable holder away from draughts.

How to light and care for them

Stand each candle securely in a heat-proof holder or on a heat-proof plate before lighting. Trim the wick to about 5 mm, keep the candle away from curtains, foliage and other flammable materials, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Let the wax cool before moving the holder. If you are using several candles along a table, give each flame space to breathe.

Why tapers feel so timeless

The taper candle has stayed close to the dining table for centuries because its shape is practical as well as graceful. The narrowing form rises cleanly from a holder, leaving room for plates, glasses and conversation while bringing the flame above the level of the table. Candlelight has long marked moments of gathering, reflection and ceremony, from family meals to vigils and seasonal rituals. In navy blue, the mood is less formal than black and quieter than brighter jewel tones, making it a refined choice for evening settings and darker months.

Size and details
  • Set of 5 taper dinner candles.
  • Each candle measures 21 cm tall.
  • Made from paraffin wax.
  • Colour: navy blue.
  • Made in Germany.
  • Designed to fit most standard candle holders.
A thoughtful host gift

A set of navy dinner candles makes an easy, considered gift for a host, a new home, or someone who enjoys setting a beautiful table. Pair them with a simple holder for a small ritual they can use straight away.

Common questions

How can I help the candles burn evenly?
Keep them upright, trim the wick before lighting, and place them away from draughts. Air movement can make any candle burn unevenly or drip more than expected.
What holders work best with navy taper candles?
Brass adds warmth, glass keeps the look light, and pale ceramic makes the blue feel crisp and modern. Choose a holder that grips the candle firmly so it stands straight.
