Few things in this world smell better than the subtle sweetness of natural beeswax. 10 inch tapers will burn for approximately 12 hours. Sold in pairs, these tapers are cast in vintage tin candle molds the same way they were in the 18th & 19th centuries. This was a comon way to make candles in farmhouses all across America and indeed all over the world prior to modern electric lighting. After casting, our candles are hand dipped once to provide a smooth and uniform surface. As with all candles, Keep away from children, never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch.
