Obelisk Taper Candles- Aubergine

Candles by Greentree Candles

$51.00

The Obelisk Taper Candles in Aubergine bring two architectural faceted tapers — their four-sided profile drawn from ancient monument proportions — in a deep, wine-dark plum that commands the table without asking for attention. Available in 12-inch or 16-inch.

The obelisk has been a monument to dignity since before written history. These tapers share that geometry — four clean faces rising to a point — and translate it into deep Aubergine, a color that is neither purple nor brown but something between the two that suits candlelight the way few colors do. They are the formal candle, properly so: the one that signals that the table has been considered. Available in 12-inch or 16-inch to suit the scale of the setting.

A Note on Blooming

Our 100% pure beeswax candles are just that—pure, natural, and unadulterated. As such, you may notice a soft white cast develop over time, especially on dyed tapers. This is not a flaw, but rather a beautiful hallmark of authentic beeswax, known as “bloom.” It’s a natural phenomenon that occurs as the wax ages—proof of its purity.

If you’d prefer a more polished look, simply take a warm blow dryer and gently pass heat over the candlestick. In just a few moments, the bloom wi

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.
