Wax tassels

This delicate candlestick tassel is molded in wax in the Alpilles region of France, by the last French candlestick maker, founded in the mid-19th century in a small village where the Pères Blancs made candles for the Church. Mineral pigments mixed with wax give these pendants subtle colors, perfect for decorating a door handle, the key to an antique cupboard, your festive or everyday tables, or even your Christmas trees. Choice of: English green, pistachio green, linen, papyrus, old wax. Sold individually.

Bleached cotton wick sourced from French company EPV (FILT). Raw cotton contains many natural residues such as oils and waxes, as well as dust and dirt of all kinds. Sometimes it may even contain traces of pesticides or textile treatments. All these “foreign” substances present on the cotton cause irregularities in the absorption of wax during combustion, which can lead to an unstable flame, carbonized residues, and excess smoke. The role of bleaching is to remove these impurities to ensure stable combustion. It also gives the cotton astringent properties, which further improves combustion.
Natural dye.
Paraffin is a mineral wax that is less greasy and more compact than vegetable wax. It is the best ingredient for making a high-quality candle that burns slowly. Vegetable wax is more suitable for filling because it does not make the product hard.
