Egyptian Cat Candle

The Egyptians understood that certain animals carry a particular gravity, and the seated cat is among the most enduring of the forms they chose to preserve. This one is rendered in black beeswax — hand-poured, faintly matte, clean-burning — and holds the pose without a hint of whimsy. It is the figure candle for the person who does not collect figurines but would make an exception for this: a serious object that happens also to be a candle, made from pure beeswax in the Hudson Valley, poured in small batches, and packaged for giving.

Trim the Wick:

Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting.

Candle Safety:

Follow the 2-foot rule— don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable. Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax. Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.

In summary:

• Burn Candles on a fireproof surface. 
• Before lighting and relighting candle trim wick to 1/4” to achieve maximum burn time and the least amount of dripping. 
• We suggest burning for 2-3 hours at a time. 
• Allow the candle to cool before relighting. 
• Burn candles within sight. 
• Keep candles away from things that can catch fire (curtain, tablecloth)
• Keep away from pets and children
• Keep away from a draft, open window or fan.
