Pillar Candles

The history of the pillar candle may be traced back so far as 221-206 BC China was a major player in the candle manufacturing business. Candles developed independently in different areas all through history. Many different materials were used, from tallow and then to bees wax to bayberry wax ,to paraffin and then to a blended soy wax, used today. Pillar candles were also utilized as time keepers by markings on the candlestick to mark off a predetermined time it took to melt away to a mark.

With the creation of electricity, household candles for maintaining illumination dwindled, but today because of the miracle and allure of the dancing flame and aromas that pillar candles offer, there will always be a spot for them.

There are many different types of pillar candles. There are soy blended pillar candles , paraffin pillar candles, palm wax pillar candles and beeswax pillar candles.
