Prepare for Unique Melting

Due to the sculptural nature of your candle, once lit wax will melt in an unpredictable manner. To avoid damage to your surfaces, please place your candle on a large ceramic dish, on a flat surface before lighting.

A dimly-lit bathroom scene shows someone's legs stretched out in a bathtub filled with water. A wooden tray across the tub holds five statue-shaped candles with flickering flames, casting a serene candlelight for mental well-being. A glass of wine and cotton stems in a vase sit blissfully in the background.

Embrace Handcrafted Perfection

Each candle is individually hand crafted, and like the ancient sculptures that inspire them, small imperfections such as small air bubbles or frosting may be expected between pieces.

Hand-poured on The Gold Coast

The Ancient Candle co. series of home fragrance vessel candles are hand-poured on the Gold Coast with only the finest soy blend waxes, lead-free cotton wicks and premium oils. To ensure an even and smoke-free burn, we recommend the following care.

How to care for your candles

Before each light, please trim your wick to 5mm and place your candle on a flat, heat-proof surface.
Did you know that soy wax has a memory? To get the most out of your ACC candle, please allow the melt pool to reach the outer edges of the vessel to avoid tunnelling on subsequent burns.
Please never leave your candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, home furnishings and drafts.
To preserve your fragrance, please do not burn your candle for longer than four hours at a time. Replace the glass lid to snuff out the flame with no smoke.
You know It’s time to love you and leave you when one centimetre of wax remains at the bottom of your vessel. This will prevent possible damage to the glass vessel and your surfaces. We recommend cleaning out your jar by freezing the small amount of remaining wax and then spooning it out. The remaining wax can then be easily removed with boiling water. Please do not scrub your vessel as this may cause damage to the colouring of the glass.
