Candle from the "Old Accordion" collection

In my childhood home in Smiltene, an old accordion stood in the living room closet behind the desk. To be honest, it is still there today. It is my grandfather's accordion. In my opinion, the accordion is one of the most ornately decorated instruments. Although ours was already old and slightly peeling when I was a child, I couldn't take my eyes off the perfect corrugation of the bellows and the finish with its shifting tones.

The "Old Accordion" collection is my tribute both to our old instrument and to all the other accordions in the world that live on stages, in closets, or elsewhere for decades, and maybe even centuries. By the way, my sister and I used to play the accordion together as children: we sat facing each other, put our feet together, placed the accordion on our legs, and each pulled the bellows from our own end. My sister was in charge of the keys because she knew how to play the piano; I was responsible for the buttons because I didn't know how to play anything—but pressing any of them made the instrument sound wonderfully.

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 three times. 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.

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.
