Candle from collection "Fragments of Antiquity"

Spending my free time hiking through places long forgotten by people, I have visited many abandoned Latvian manors and castles. Although the teeth of time have gnawed away almost everything there, and very little remains of their former glory, in almost every one of these ancient buildings, you can still find some evidence of past splendor - on the plaster of window sills, in arches or elsewhere, where water and sun have not yet managed to eradicate the ancient testimony. These are usually small fragments that do not form a complete picture, but I like them very, very much. In the concrete vessel collection "Fragments of Antiquity", I have embedded this feeling of the survival of past splendor both in the concrete itself and in the special foil leaf decoration, giving the metallic shine the marks of the teeth of time.

Candles in concrete containers possess an exceptional quality: as the candle burns, the container's walls heat up and assist the flame in melting the wax, ensuring the candle always burns completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the container's walls. The base of the candle container is designed with sufficient thickness to prevent it from overheating and damaging the surface on which the candle is placed. If you remain concerned that the container might harm the surface, you can purchase candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer coating from the "Candle Coasters" section. Once the candle has fully burned out, you can easily and simply refill the container with a new candle by acquiring palm wax granules in a 500-gram package from the "Bulk Candles" section. This package allows you to refill the candle twice. It includes two types of wicks and instructions for candle creation. Of course, after the candle has burned out, you may also insert any pre-made candle that fits inside the container or repurpose it for other household uses, such as a vase. The concrete container is not suitable for storing open food items.

Delivery options and costs in the "Terms" section.

Technical Product Information. For the initial burn, allow the candle to continue until the top layer of wax becomes fully liquid (1-4 hours, depending on the container's diameter and the number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to a height of 1 cm (~0.4 inches) above the wax surface.
