Ancient Candle Co. was born from a love of fine art and interior style. It was during the first Covid lockdowns in 2020 that our founder Yvette Hardy discovered, (while styling her own home) that it was almost impossible to find high quality sculptural candles. Pieces that not only enhanced the mood in your space when lit, but were also aesthetically pleasing in their un-lit state.

With a family business knowledge in fine art, design and sculpture (Yvette’s husband is Liam Hardy, figurative Bronze Artist and founding Director of Sculpt Studios). It’s with this knowledge that our first design, the ‘La Femme’ torso candle was created. We have since gone on to produce three other figures in our signature torso range. The ‘L ‘Homme’ male torso, the ‘Modest Femme’ and our La Mére pregnancy candle. These along with our ceramic inspired contemporary candles and our larger Ancient bust figures round out the first series of the ACC collection, (with new styles always in development).
