★★★★★ 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 .

About this product
What the red glow brings
- A strong, classic colour that feels romantic at dinner and festive on a dressed table.
- A slender vertical line that gives height to candle holders, centrepieces and mantel displays.
- Odour-free candlelight, useful when you want the food, flowers or room scent to stay in focus.
- A clean, even flame when used correctly in a suitable holder.
- A simple way to make an ordinary evening feel more considered, with just a match and a quiet flame.
Paraffin wax with a red over-dipped finish
These candles are made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with colour, giving the outside its red finish. Paraffin is a practical candle wax, chosen here for a steady burn and a smooth taper form rather than for natural-wax credentials.
Each candle has an approximate burn time of 7 hours. The supplier describes them as non-drip and smoke-free, though any taper should be kept upright, away from draughts, and placed in a holder that fits securely.
How to light and care for them
Stand each candle 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 anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
Store unused candles flat or upright in a cool, dry place, away from strong heat, so the taper shape stays neat.
Why tapers feel so timeless
The word ‘taper’ comes from the candle’s narrowing form, a shape long associated with formal dining, evening ritual and quiet ceremony. Tall candles have a different presence from jars or tealights: they create height, rhythm and a sense of occasion without taking over the table. In red, the mood becomes warmer and more expressive, suited to winter meals, romantic settings, festive gatherings and moments when candlelight is part of the atmosphere rather than simple illumination.
Size and details
- Set of 10 red taper candles.
- Each candle measures 24.5 cm high.
- Diameter: 2.3 cm.
- Made in Poland.
- Material: paraffin wax.
Styling with red tapers
Pair them with brass for a warm, old-world look, glass for something lighter, or dark ceramic for a more dramatic table. They work well in pairs for dinner settings, or gathered in different heights of holders for a mantelpiece or sideboard.
A thoughtful host gift
A set of red tapers makes a quietly useful gift for someone who loves table setting, seasonal decorating or slow evenings at home. It is especially suited to hosts, new homes and anyone who likes small rituals that change the feeling of a room.
