Wax tassels

This delicate candlestick tassel is molded from wax in the Alpilles region of France by the last remaining French candlestick maker, a company founded in the mid-19th century in a small village where the White Fathers 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 cabinet, your festive or everyday tables, or even your Christmas trees. Choose from: English green, pistachio green, linen, papyrus, old wax. Sold individually.

Bleached cotton wick sourced from the 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 wax absorption during combustion, which can lead to an unstable flame, carbonized residues, and excess smoke. The purpose of bleaching is to remove these impurities to ensure stable combustion. It also imparts astringent properties to the cotton, 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 harden the product.
