Will they fit my holders?

Almost certainly. Each candle is 29cm tall and 2.2cm wide, the standard size for dinner candles, so they sit in most classic candlestick holders.

Holder a little loose? Press a small piece of candle putty into the base to keep them standing tall. A little snug? Dip the end in hot water for a minute to soften the wax, then ease it in with a gentle twist.

Candle care

Keep your candles in their box until they go into their holders, so they stay dust-free and in one piece. Each one is poured by hand, so treat them kindly on the way to the table.

Trim the wick short before every lighting, burn them in a well-ventilated room away from draughts, and never leave a lit candle unattended or within reach of children or pets. A snuffer is the neatest way to put them out, but it’s optional.

If a coloured section ever comes loose, it may rattle slightly. Don’t worry: the candle will still burn safely and beautifully.

About Pygmalion London

Pygmalion is a London candle studio, founded in 2021 by Rosanna Philpott. It began as a messy hobby, pouring wax at the kitchen hob, and grew into a collection of sculptural dinner candles made for the best part of the evening: food, wine and the people round the table.

The name comes from George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, and the Greek myth behind it, in which a sculptor’s statue comes to life. Rather like lighting a candle.

If you’re going to put something in the middle of your table, make it worthy of the limelight.

PACK A GIFT BOX

Unlike other tapers

Colour to the core.

Not painted on. Not dipped. Our candles take craftsmanship to the next level: every layer of natural wax is hand-poured and inlaid right through to the middle, so the design shifts and reveals itself as the candle burns down.
