Antik Collection

Antik candles are solid, colored and unscented, available from the smallest to the tallest. They are chosen like a decorative object: for their color and their size, never for their scent.

The range of sizes

The collection goes from the tiniest model, sold as a set of four in a gift box, up to large pillars that stand on their own on a console. Mid-sized formats suit a coffee table or a shelf, while the tallest go on the floor in a lantern. The diameter matters as much as the height, since it determines the width of the flame.

Unscented, and that's a choice

An unscented candle can go anywhere, including on a table where a meal is served. No fragrance competes with that of a dish or a bouquet placed nearby. It is also the most relaxed option in a room where someone is sensitive to home fragrances.

Grouping heights and colors

One candle makes a light, three candles make a setting. Choose two or three different sizes in the same color, then place them together on a tray that catches the drips. Deep shades stand out against light wood, while pale tones call for a darker backdrop.

Frequently asked questions

Which size for a dining table?

A small or medium model, whose flame stays below guests' eye level. Save the large pillars for a console, where their height won't get in the way of conversation.

Do Antik candles smell of anything?

No, the entire range is unscented. Only the warm wax gives off a very faint smell, as with any candle.

How do I stop wax from running down the side?

Trim the wick before each lighting and keep the candle away from drafts. A straight flame burns the wax from the center and keeps the edge intact.
