Disclaimer
Alchemy candles are intended as both decorative homeware and functional candles. Because of the set’s sculptural form, wax may melt unpredictably once lit.
Care note
Place on a large ceramic dish or heat-resistant plate before lighting.
Burn only on a flat, stable surface.
Keep away from books, curtains, paper, fabric, plants, drafts, and anything flammable.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from children and pets.
Do not move while burning or while wax is liquid.
Each piece is cast in an ivory-toned vegan wax, with a cotton wick, and finished with hand-applied gold and silver pigments.
Both. They are sculptural enough to sit unlit as objects, but they are designed to burn, and the way the wax moves as they melt is part of the piece.
The candles have a gentle, gourmand scent reminiscent of freshly-baked goods. Perfect for a cosy evening.
Yes, the gold and silver detailing is non-toxic, melts along with the candle, and can be burned safely.
