What it is

Plain candles give light without competing with anything else on the table. Tapers stand in a candlestick, pillars on a plate, church candles are tall pillars, floating candles sit on water, and jar candles burn in their own glass. Most are unscented; the jar candles carry a Sea Breeze scent.

Why people choose it

  • Calm light Most are unscented, so nothing competes with food or flowers.
  • Hours you can plan by A taper burns about seven hours; a large pillar well over a hundred.
  • Colours for the table Ivory, red, navy, silver and more, for the season or the occasion.
  • Packs for a whole evening Tapers come in packs of four to twenty one.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Set a pillar on a heat-safe plate and a taper in a candlestick that fits

  2. 2

    Trim the wick to about 5 mm before lighting

  3. 3

    Keep tapers out of draughts so they burn straight

Care: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles at least 10 cm apart. Float floating candles in a wide bowl of water.

    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 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.

Size and details
  • Set of 10 ivory taper candles.
  • Made in Poland.
  • Each candle measures 24.5 cm high and 2.3 cm in diameter.
  • Approximately 7 hours burn time per candle.
  • Designed to burn without smoke or dripping when used correctly.
A thoughtful host gift

A set of ivory tapers makes a useful, elegant gift for someone who enjoys setting a table, hosting dinner or making a home feel gentle in the evening. It is practical enough to be used, but still feels considered.

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.
Please note:
this design ships in assorted colours, so the exact shade you receive may vary. You’re welcome to add a colour preference in your order comments and we’ll do our best to match it, though a specific colour can’t be guaranteed.
