Big Dipper Wax Works 100% Beeswax Taper Candles, 12 in (2 Pack, Ivory)

Pure beeswax, cotton wick, made by a small US workshop — it burns with a faint honey smell that is the most grandmotherly scent on this page, and the warm ivory colour sits perfectly in antique brass.

Good to know: Beeswax costs several times what paraffin does and a pair burns down in a few long evenings, so keep them for occasions rather than nightly use.
