Silver & gold taper candles – rustic metallic look

The table is laid, and your guests will arrive any minute. All that's missing is the light that turns a meal into an evening. That's exactly what these rustic taper candles in gold and silver are made for: your festive table. Once the flames are lit, the hand-decorated metallic look catches the light. It casts a warm shimmer across the room. Choose silver taper candles for a clean, elegant look or gold ones for festive shine. Light them, sit back, and the evening can begin.

What changes for you

• Your laid table looks more festive straight away, without much decorating. That's because the hand-decorated metallic look in gold and silver gently reflects the candlelight.
• You can enjoy the evening without any distracting smell. The candles are made from highly refined paraffin wax and burn without odour.
• You don't have to keep changing candles. With around 12 hours of burn time, one candle lasts the whole evening and beyond.
• Your lanterns, arrangements and tablecloths stay clean. The candles burn low-soot and residue-free, with a wick made of 100 % cotton.
• You get a calm, particularly bright light. The flame burns very evenly and doesn't flicker restlessly.

Why these dinner candles make a difference every day

Candlelight changes the mood in a room faster than any other detail. Conversations get quieter. The table feels more inviting. The end of the working day feels more like home. These taper candles burn calmly, brightly and cleanly, so that mood stays undisturbed. No film of soot, no smell of wax, no restless flickering. An ordinary Tuesday evening becomes a cosy moment, and your festive table stays looking its best.

Material & finish

The white wax is made from highly refined paraffin and coloured all the way through. It is coated with a delicate layer of colour in a metallic look and carefully decorated by hand. This gives the candles their clean finish and a smooth, even surface you can feel as soon as you unpack them. The colour decoration differs from batch to batch, so shades and colour gradients may vary slightly. This isn't a flaw. It makes every candle one of a kind. The wick made of 100 % cotton supports low-soot, residue-free burning.

How to use the dinner candles

• For a festive meal: place two gold candles in the centre of the table. Your laid table gets a festive setting before the first course is even served.
• During Advent: arranged as an Advent wreath with taper candles, the slim candles look more modern than classic pillar candles. And each week they bring one more light into your home.
• In a lantern or arrangement: the candle burns without residue. The glass and decorations stay clean, and you can refill them again and again.
• As mood lighting in the evening: put the candle in a taper candle holder and dim the lights. Your evening starts noticeably calmer.
• In a café or restaurant: a calm, bright light on every table creates atmosphere. The candles are odourless, so nothing masks the smell of food and coffee. With around 12 hours of burn time, you can plan them easily over many service evenings.
• At weddings, christenings or catering events: gold and silver fit in with almost any table decoration. They give you a uniform, festive look across all tables.

Good to know about dinner candles

Taper candles are also traditionally called dinner candles. That's because they have always belonged on the festive dinner table. Their slim, tall shape lifts the light above the plates. That's why they are still the first choice today for festive meals, the Advent season and special occasions where the table takes centre stage.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Place the candles upright and firmly in a suitable candle holder and keep them away from draughts. That way, the flame burns particularly calmly and evenly right to the end. As with any candle, never leave it burning unattended.
