Williamsburg Taper Beeswax Candles

Bloom is a natural, powdery white film that develops on pure beeswax over time as it interacts with the air. It is a sign of authenticity and does not affect the candle's performance; you can easily buff it away with a soft cloth if you prefer a smooth, shiny finish.

While beeswax is generally cleaner burning than paraffin, all taper candles can drip if exposed to drafts, air conditioning, or if they are not standing perfectly straight. To minimize dripping, keep the wick trimmed to a quarter-inch and ensure the candles are placed away from direct airflow.

These tapers are hand-dipped and connected by a single wick. Simply use a pair of scissors to carefully snip the wick in the center, leaving enough length on both ends to light the candles.

These candles have a very subtle, natural honey-like aroma characteristic of pure beeswax. They are not artificially scented, so they provide a warm ambiance without overpowering a room with heavy fragrance.

Yes, these candles are designed with a standard 0.875-inch diameter, which is the universal size for most traditional taper candle holders. If they feel slightly loose, you can use a small amount of candle adhesive or a wrap of beeswax to secure them.
