Birthday Candles

La Maison de Commerce now offers birthday candles based on ancestral know-how dating from the 15th century, in variations of pastel or natural shades. High, they will decorate your cakes and spread the light.

The diving manufacturing technique carried out for generations by a master candlemaker from the Ciergerie des Prémontrés, a Living Heritage company, allows for perfect flames: high, intense, regular, without smoke or streaks.

Placed in a “U” shape on wooden strips fixed to frames, the wicks are dipped into the wax several times. It is from this gesture that their unique conical shape comes and from this production process that their burning time is explained: up to twice as long as candles produced without this technique.

Preserving ancient manufacturing techniques also means defending unparalleled quality.

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.
