Taper Candles

Colourful taper candles for ambience and occasion

Made from high-quality stearin for a bright, steady flame, these taper candles are ideal for refined settings, ceremonial spaces, and everyday moments of warmth and style.

Setting the mood, sparking conversation, lighting the moment

Taper candles are more than just lighting, they’re part of the atmosphere. Whether lining a festive table, glowing beside a mirror, or flickering through a long, intimate evening, they help shape the mood with elegance and presence. Their tall, sculptural form draws the eye, often becoming a quiet focal point or conversation starter. With a clean, steady burn and timeless silhouette, they work just as beautifully at a romantic dinner as they do during seasonal gatherings or ceremonial moments. However you use them, these candles make space feel intentional, alive, and ready for whatever unfolds.

Really sets the tone.

Light with intention

Shape the mood, elevate your space, and mark the moment with tall, clean-burning candles made for presence and atmosphere. Our tapers are defined by four key qualities:

Effortless Statement Lighting

Our taper candles are sculptural by nature, bringing height, contrast, and a touch of drama to tables, shelves, and ceremonial settings.

Steady Flame, Clean Burn

Engineered to burn with control and elegance, the flame stays calm and bright, no drips, no soot, just uninterrupted glow.

Holds Shape, Even In Heat

Made from high melting point stearin wax, these candles stay tall and true, even in warm rooms or through long, festive evenings.

Set The Tone, Shape The Room

With their tall, fluid presence and calming glow, these candles help create a sense of flow, perfect for intimate gatherings, seasonal rituals, or quiet evenings in.

Dipped

Blended in beautifully complementary colours, our dipped taper candles bring a playful yet polished touch to any occasion.

Whether you're hosting a summer garden party, styling a birthday table, or aligning with country colours for a sports night, these tapers make the theme come alive.

Their multi-tone design adds visual interest while staying elegant enough for weddings, seasonal tablescapes, and stylish soirées. Choose from a wide spectrum of pairings, from soft pastels to bold brights, each one crafted to catch the eye and elevate the mood.
