What are classic candles? This may seem an easy question to answer but it is not quite as easy as you might think. It is a bit like defining what a classic car is and our view can be coloured by our age and the memories of a special or informative time of our lives.

Classic Dinner CandlesThe picture conjured up my many of classic candles is of elegant dinner candles sitting in a silver candelabra at a formal dinner party. The Sherwood collection of dinner candles certainly fits the bill here. Price’s Sherwood Candles are classic candles, perhaps could be classified as vintage candles, which have been supplied to the British Royal Household since the 1840’s. As you might expect these candles are clean burning and if used correctly will not pour candle wax all over your table. In addition to being an excellent dinner candle Sherwood candles are ideal as a wedding candle.

 

Classic Taper CandlesAnother simple shape that has become a classic candle is the Taper Candle or Venetian Candle. As the name suggests these candles are tapered and look well in single candle holders or in a small candelabra. Taper candles can be used for decoration, as a dinner candle or as a wedding candle.

 

Classic Barley Twist CandleVery popular at one time but not seen quite so often these days but still available is the Barley Twist candle or Spirette candle. This style is instantly recognisable and looks good equally as a decorative candle or a dinner candle.

 

Classic Church CandlesChurch candles really are a classic design and yet they do come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Mostly they are a variation of the classic pillar candle but they are available as a 3 wick candle and square candle or cube candle. Church candles contain beeswax and this addition of bees wax gives them that bit of something special in the way of colour and scent.

Classic Beeswax CandlesChurch candles may contain bees wax but if you want the ultimate candle experience then it has to be 100% Beeswax Candles. Because they are 100% beeswax it does mean that they are not cheap candles to buy but they are a bit special. An 85mm by 70mm beeswax pillar candle will burn for up to 40 hours and fill a room with that distinctive perfume. And if you are seeking a special dinner candle then why not use a 100% Beeswax Dinner Candle? These quality individually hand-made beeswax dinner candles are manufactured by the candle company Price’s Candles and have to be the ultimate in dinner candles.

Classic Altar CandlesAltar candles as the name suggests are similar in shape to Church candles but do not have the added beeswax ingredient. As a general rule Altar candles are long burning and good value for money. Try burning as individuals or group different sizes together to produce a very pleasing effect.

Is your idea of a classic candle not mentioned? Candle décor like most things is a matter of personal taste and preference but there is no doubt that a burning candle is relaxing and memory evoking.
