    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 in candlelight
  • The silver surface feels crisp and modern, especially against dark wood, white linen or clear glass.
  • The slim taper shape adds height without crowding a table setting.
  • Use them in pairs for a simple dinner ritual, or group several together for a brighter, more ceremonial glow.
  • The unscented wax keeps the atmosphere clean and neutral, useful when food, flowers or incense are already present.
  • The metallic colour works beautifully for winter tables, festive evenings and calm minimalist rooms.
Paraffin wax with a metallic finish

Each candle is made from paraffin wax with a silver over-dipped finish. Paraffin is not a natural wax, but it is a familiar choice for taper candles because it holds colour well and gives a steady, even flame when used correctly.

These silver taper candles are made in Poland and designed to burn cleanly, without smoke or dripping, when placed 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 it away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Store unused candles somewhere cool and dry, away from strong heat, so the slender shape and metallic surface stay neat.

Candlelight at the table

Taper candles have long been tied to the ritual of gathering, from formal European table settings to quieter moments of vigil, prayer and reflection. Their appeal is partly practical and partly emotional: the height keeps the flame visible above plates and flowers, while the act of lighting them marks a shift in the room. Silver gives that tradition a cooler, more contemporary mood, less rustic than ivory and softer than black.

A thoughtful host gift

Common questions

Do these need a candle holder?
Yes. Taper candles should always be used in a stable, heat-proof holder that supports them upright.
Are they suitable for dining?
Yes. They are unscented, so they will not compete with food, flowers or other fragrances at the table.
Please note:
