About this product

The glow of metallic red
  • The red metallic finish catches the light before the wick is even lit, adding depth to simple candle holders.
  • The upright taper shape draws the eye upwards, giving a dining table or sideboard a more considered feel.
  • Use them as a pair for a small supper, or group several together for a richer, more atmospheric setting.
  • The odour-free burn keeps the focus on food, conversation and the soft movement of the flame.
  • The colour suits winter tables, festive gatherings, romantic dinners and rooms that need a little warmth.
Paraffin wax with a colour-dipped finish

Each candle is made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with colour for its metallic red surface. Paraffin gives a steady, familiar taper candle form, while the coloured outer layer brings the decorative mood.

The candles are designed for a clean, even flame with no smoke or dripping when used correctly. Keep them upright in a suitable holder, away from draughts and anything flammable.

Lighting and care

Stand each taper in a heat-proof candle holder or on a heat-proof plate before lighting. Trim the wick to about 5 mm, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Let the wax cool fully before moving the candle or holder. Store unused tapers flat or upright in a cool, dry place, away from strong heat that could soften the wax.

Candlelight at the table

Taper candles have long belonged to the ritual of gathering, from formal dining rooms to simple suppers at home. Their height gives light a graceful vertical line, lifting the setting without needing much space. Red brings its own language too: celebration, warmth, appetite and a touch of drama. In a brass holder it feels rich and traditional; in clear glass it becomes cleaner and more modern; against dark ceramic it turns quietly theatrical.

Size and details

This is a pack of 10 metallic red taper candles. Each candle measures 24.5 cm high with a 2.3 cm diameter, and has an approximate burn time of 7 hours. Made in Poland.

A thoughtful host gift

A set of red taper candles makes an easy, considered gift for a dinner host, new home, winter birthday or festive table. It is practical, beautiful, and ready to become part of someone’s next evening in.

Common questions

Can I use these candles outdoors?
They are best used indoors or in a very sheltered outdoor setting. Draughts can disturb the flame and affect how cleanly any taper candle burns.
Are they scented?
No. These taper candles are odour-free, which makes them a good choice for dining tables and shared spaces.
