Handcrafted Candles Made in Provence

These elegant decorative taper candles are handcrafted by one of the last remaining candle makers in France, using a traditional ancestral manufacturing method.

The candle-making technique known as “dip molding” creates conical candles that are slimmer at the top. Cotton wicks are arranged in a U-shape on wooden rods, attached to frames, and repeatedly dipped into wax by skilled candle artisans.

Color pigments are sprinkled into the melted wax, resulting in vibrant and sometimes surprising shades that create unique and unexpected hues. These candles burn slowly and cleanly without producing smoke. Once lit, they provide a soft and pleasant glow.

What Candle Holder Should Be Used for a Slim Taper Candle?

Enjoy decorating your home with these brightly colored taper candles displayed in MAISON PECHAVY candle holders, including brass taper holders and wooden candle stands.

With a very slim base (approximately 1 cm in diameter), these candles are designed for specially adapted holders rather than standard candlesticks or candle holders. Our gold-toned brass taper holder was specifically created to showcase a slim taper candle in traditional candle holders and classic candlesticks. Whether your holders are made of clear glass, vintage crystal, or antique materials, you can easily use them with the brass adapter, which offers a practical dual-purpose function.

These decorative candles bring a touch of light and color to any interior. Create an elegant and romantic atmosphere with the various shades of MAISON PECHAVY decorative candles. Perfect for table settings, mantels, and other decorative displays, they beautifully enhance your home décor.

For outdoor decoration, place your decorative taper candle and holder inside a lantern or hurricane candle holder.

To enjoy your candle for longer, place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before lighting it. The cold helps compact the wax, allowing the candle to burn more slowly.

Lighting a decorative taper candle creates a warm ambiance and beautifully illuminates your evening. A lit candle provides a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

For a perfectly harmonious display, pair these colorful taper candles with ceramic scented candles to create an elegant and coordinated decorative arrangement.
