Obelisk Taper Candles- Black

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.

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.
