Sea-blue paraffin wax taper candles bring a cool, steady note to the table, with the kind of flame that makes an ordinary meal feel more intentional. Their slim, upright shape draws the eye without crowding the setting, while the unscented wax keeps the focus on food, conversation and quiet light.

    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 .

    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 around the table
  • The rustic sea-blue colour feels calm and coastal, pairing easily with white linen, dark wood, brass, glass or simple ceramic holders.
  • The tall taper shape adds height to a tablescape, creating a gentle rhythm down the centre of a dining table or mantelpiece.
  • Because they are unscented, they suit meals, bath rituals and evening reading corners without adding fragrance to the room.
  • The solid colour gives a clean, considered look, more composed than mixed candles and softer than stark neutrals.
  • Use a single pair for a quiet supper, or line several together when you want the whole table to feel slower and more gathered.
Paraffin wax and a steady flame

These taper candles are made from paraffin wax, a classic candle wax known for taking colour well and giving a clear, bright flame. They are not scented, so they work especially well where fragrance would feel distracting, such as beside food or in a shared living space.

Lighting and everyday care

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

The ritual of taper candlelight

Taper candles have long belonged to the slower parts of domestic life: evening meals, winter tables, vigils, meditation spaces and small moments of ceremony. The name comes from the narrowing form, which gives the candle its elegant vertical line and makes it a natural choice for table holders. In European dining tradition, tapers are often used in pairs or repeated along the table, not to dominate the setting, but to soften it. This sea-blue shade gives that familiar ritual a quieter, more contemporary mood.

Common questions

Will these candles drip?
They are not described as dripless. For the cleanest burn, keep each candle upright, away from draughts, and use a holder that supports it securely.
Can I use them for dining?
Yes. They are unscented taper candles, so they are well suited to dining tables where added fragrance would interfere with food and drink.
What kind of holder should I use?
Use a stable, heat-proof taper candle holder that grips the base firmly and keeps the candle upright while burning.
