Chestnut Brown Taper Candles

$10.36 ~~$14~~ In stock

Each hand dipped taper candle is dipped over 20 times by a dedicated craftsperson at Mole Hollow Candles, using a technique that has been in place since their founding in 1969. This technique, combined with their proprietary blend of waxes, is what creates the unique Spun Finish - a distinct linen-like visual texture - on each taper.

Each standard size taper candle is dripless and smokeless when burned under normal conditions. ⅞" diameter tapers should fit any standard sized candleholder. If you need a little extra security, try our sticky wax.

I was surprised by how smooth the dipping is—you can tell each one was made by hand. They burn for hours without any dripping mess, which makes them perfect for a long dinner. The chestnut brown color looks even richer in person than on the screen.

I lit one of these last night and was impressed how even the burn was all the way down—no dripping at all after hour one. The hand-dipped layers give them a nice matte finish that looks elegant on the dinner table.

The chestnut brown is richer in person, and the hand-dipped finish gives them a lovely, subtle texture. They burn evenly with hardly any drip, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
