As the name suggests pillar candles are so called because of their shape and size. Large, often 5 to 8 inches tall by 2 to 3 inches across, pillar candles were one of the earliest design of candle; and like all design classics they are timeless.
They have a number of attributes that have led to their longevity. For a start they are slow burning making them extremely good value. For example we have a pillar candlewhich will burn for an average of 120 hours, yes that means if you lit it on Monday morning it would still be burning on Friday night! Even the smaller ones will burn for over 50 hours. Aside from the practical attraction there is the aesthetic attraction; they do look good. Strong and broad they can dominate a table setting, add colour to any room and are great accessories when you want to dress a room up for an evening or celebration. It no longer surprises us when customers tell us they have bought a pillar candle with no intention of ever lighting it, they simply use it as a timeless and affordable ornamental decoration. We introduced the Highland Pillar candle which combines patterned exterior packaging with the traditional candle shape for this very reason.
Another popular variety are Soy Wax candles. Made from sustainable sources soy wax candles are increasingly popular, they look nice too, the ivory colour has a very natural feel to it.
