Executive Summary about Yellow Candles by Ann Bickell

Yellow candle

I was tired of looking at the same old earth tones in our family room. With winter storms blowing in every week, I wanted a fresh burst of spring! I replaced them with bright gold pillows.

On the walls, I relocated a hanging clock and took down old tired pieces of artwork and replaced them with paintings with the same vibrant gold color to honor the new theme: new life! Pier 1 had some gorgeous silk florals on sale and I teamed them up with a handsome red hand blown glass vase for a stunning look.

Finally, I grouped a cluster of simple white glass candle holders of various sizes, inserted brand new scented yellow candles and the look was elegant, yet comfortable and new. Something as small as new throw pillows and new scattered throw rugs might be all you need.

Executive Summary about Handmade Candle by Will Reece

Handmade candles

Tonight I am staying in a hotel in Branson, Missouri. Many folks have visited Silver Dollar City. The visitor will witness many craftsmen / craftswomen, one of these are the old-tyme (purposely mispelled) chandlers.

Obviously to the average candle burner, not to great of a spectacle unless that casual candle user has not idea how candles are made… in large factories in China.

Seriously though,… a lot of work goes into hand made candles. Of course many candle companies are born out of a basements, garages, spare rooms, and kitchens. Candle distributers where unheard of, and they definately couldn’t import candles made in foreign countries buy the container full!

The wax was heated over fire… someone manually dipped the wicks. Next time you purchase a candle or candles (soy or paraffin), do you local chandler a favor and try a truly handmade / hand-dipped candle and check out the difference.

History Of Candle Making

Executive Summary about Candle Manufacturer by Coffee Man

Who invented the candle?

Candles were invented independently in many countries. The Egyptians and Cretans made candles from beeswax, about 3000 BC. In the fourth century BC there were clay candle holders in Egypt. Wax from boiling cinnamon was used for temple candles in India. Yak butter was used for candles in Tibet. In 848 King Alfred used a candle-clock which burned for 4 hours. Later, there were 24-hour candles. The Sung dynasty in China (960 - 1279) also used candle-clocks.

Tallow, fat from cows or sheep, became the standard material used in candles in Europe. By 1415 tallow candles were used in street lighting. The unpleasant smell of tallow candles is due to the glycerine in it. The first candle mould comes from 15th century Paris.

New types of oil

From about 1750 it was used to provide very expensive candles. It yields colza oil. This was the best candle yet, producing clear smokeless flames. In 1834 Joseph Morgan began to industrialize the production of candles.

Paraffin and palm oil

In 1829 William Wilson of Price’s Candles invested in 1,000 acres of coconut plantation in Sri Lanka. His aim was to make candles from coconut oil. By 1922 Lever Brothers had bought Prices Candles and in 1922 a joint-owned company called “Candles Ltd” was created. By 1991, the last remaining owner of “Candles Ltd” was Shell, who sold off the candle-making part of business.
