Global Crafts Hand Painted Taper Candles Set of 2 - African Design, 9 in

• BONGAZI PATTERN IN EARTH TONES: The Bongazi palette runs to noble, luxurious and earthy shades, laid over the wax in traditional African patterning. Each taper is painted individually, so the two in this pair share a design language without being copies of one another, and either holds its own as a small piece of art. The design draws directly on African culture and the Bongazi color palette.
• REFINED PARAFFIN AND NATURAL WICK: Each candle is hand poured from high quality, fully refined paraffin wax and finished with color pigments and a natural wick. The wax is unscented, so the candles bring light and color to a room without competing with food, flowers or a fragrance already in the space. Each candle is individually hand painted, so no two finishes match exactly.
• PAIR OF NINE INCH TAPERS: The set contains two dinner tapers, each 9 in tall and 0.75 in in diameter, a round profile sized for standard taper holders. They are made for indoor use, and because the painting is done by hand the surface carries fine brush texture rather than a uniform machine finish. The pair is well suited to creating a calm, inviting atmosphere indoors.
• TABLE, MANTEL OR CELEBRATION: A pair of painted tapers turns an ordinary dinner into something more considered, and they suit weddings, housewarmings and anniversaries just as well. Stand them in holders at the center of a table, or leave them unlit on a mantel as a color accent that works in any season. A striking accent for a table, a mantel or a centerpiece in any season.
• HANDWORK FROM SOUTH AFRICA: Both candles are hand poured and hand painted by skilled South African artisans, which is why every piece differs slightly from the next. Produced under fair trade practices that support community and cooperation, and carried by Global Crafts, a member of the Fair Trade Federation. Each candle ends up a vibrant, one of a kind work of art in its own right.
