Our tapers are classic dinner candles dipped into pure molten beeswax at just the right temperature by a steady hand and a keen eye. These candlesticks are dipped and cooled over twenty times each before a pair can be cut free from the oak rack. When finished and hung, they carry the rich scent of honey and seem to hold light in their bellies. Kept out of drafts and away from fans these tapers will burn virtually dripless for about one hour per inch of length.

Features

  • 100% Pure Beeswax
  • Paraffin-free & lead-free, non-toxic & hypoallergenic
  • Each candle burns one hour burn per inch of length 
  • Perfect wedding candles or for celebrating the everyday 
  • Colored tapers are dyed solid/ all the way through
  • These are standard taper candles, they fit in the vast majority of candlestick holders. Beeswax is also wonderfully malleable. If your taper is a hair narrow, simply warm the base over a flame and the molten wax will secure the taper in place. If the taper candle is a touch wide, gently press and twist into place.

 

Dimensions & Care

  • 8in. x .875in. (7/8")
  • 10in. x .875in.
  • 12in. x .875in.
  • 16in. x .875in.
  • To prevent dripping, keep away from open windows, fans or excessive airflow of any kind and place your hand behind flame when blowing out.
  • Another trick to prevent dripping is to NOT trim the burnt wick before re-lighting! The long curled wick that you find should just be lit as is. Please note, this is different than all other candle styles that do benefit from regular wick trimming. 
  • We have consciously chosen not to include chemical preservatives in these candles, which means that some of the lighter colors in particular may shift, subtly over time/ if exposed to sustained UV
  • To minimize smoking use a snuffer to extinguish flame.

Blue

I order black candles and received blue ones. Now I had to take time from my busy life to return the blue candles .Orher then this the candles burn lovely and the wrought iron candles stick holders were of high quality and good looking

Hi Peggy,
We’re so sorry for the mix-up with your order and completely understand how frustrating it is to have to take time out of your busy day to handle a return. That’s never the experience we want our customers to have. We’re glad we were able to get a replacement sent your way quickly, and we're so happy to hear you're enjoying the candles and the holders. Thanks so much for your patience and for giving us the chance to make it right!

Taper candles did not have the clean burn I hoped for.

I ordered the taper candles, because of the good reviews. I don't know if I got a bad batch, because they smoked for the longest time, after I put them out. I keep the wick trimmed, and use a candle snuffer then I moisten my finger to snuff them out, to keep them from smoking. Not the clean burn I hoped for.

Lovely, yet solid

The tapers are elegant, and “thicker” than another brand of beeswax taper I have on hand. Will buy from Bluecorn only in the future.
