Candles by Greentree Candles

$36.00

The Obelisk Taper Candles in Black are two architectural tapers with a four-sided form drawn from ancient monument-making — pure North American beeswax in a finish that is matte and serious unlit, luminous when burning. Available in 12-inch or 16-inch, the candle for every occasion that calls for gravity.

Black beeswax is an argument for honesty. These Obelisk Tapers — their faceted profile a direct quotation from ancient monument-making — arrive in the matte finish that makes pure beeswax appear darker than night. Once lit, the flame does what no other color allows: it becomes the only thing on the table. They belong at the New Year's table, the Halloween setting, the winter dinner, and any occasion that asks something of the candleholder. Available in 12-inch or 16-inch.

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.
