    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.

About this product

A clear yellow glow for the table
  • The colour is bright and clean, made for settings that need warmth without heaviness.
  • The classic taper shape suits dinner tables, sideboards and seasonal displays.
  • The smooth over-dipped finish gives the candles an even yellow surface from top to base.
  • They are unscented, so they sit comfortably beside food, flowers and room fragrance.
  • The set works well mixed with brass, ceramic, glass or simple wooden candle holders.
Paraffin wax with an even flame

These yellow taper candles are made from paraffin wax and over-dipped with colour. They are designed for a clean, even flame, with an odour-free burn and minimal mess when used correctly in a suitable holder.

Lighting and candle care

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

Why taper candles still feel special

The word ‘taper’ refers to the narrowing form of the candle, a shape with a long history in household light, dining rituals and ceremonial settings. Today, tapers are chosen as much for atmosphere as illumination. Their height gives a table structure, their flame softens the room, and the act of lighting them marks a shift from ordinary time into something more considered.

Size, burn time and details

This is a set of 10 candles. Each candle measures 24.5 cm high with a 2.3 cm diameter, and burns for approximately seven hours. Made in Poland.

Common questions

Are these candles scented?
No. They are odour-free, which makes them well suited to dining tables and rooms where you already use fragrance.
Can I use them outdoors?
They can be used outside only in a sheltered, stable holder. Wind and draughts can affect the flame and cause uneven burning.
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.
