Candlemakers

 

“In order to bleach the wax, it is purified by melting, cleaning and exposing it to air and dew (…) “*

Cirier

We love this part of our job that connects us with the ancient know-how of the art of candlemaking. A craftsmanship where each piece is unique, made by hand by one person and created for one person.

A look over Chambers’ Cyclopaedia (1680-1740) or Diderot and D’Alembert’s Encyclopédie*(1751-1772), discovers methods that have reached our times explained generation after generation. Maybe today the wax is not bleach by dew, but the essence of candlemaking remains.
