The horse has been a subject for sculptors since antiquity — the Parthenon frieze, the bronze horses of San Marco, the equestrian statues that fill public squares across the world. Something about the form — the arched neck, the nostrils, the tension in the jaw — translates immediately into decorative objects. The Large Horse Head Sculpture Candle puts that form in 100% natural soy wax at 16 cm, a scale that earns shelf prominence.
Hand-poured at our Orlando, FL studio and individually hand-finished. Available in 4 colors (White, Orange, Beige, Brown) and 8 scents including Mahogany Teakwood, Amber Musk, and Sandalwood Rose. A striking gift for horse lovers, equestrians, and anyone who appreciates sculptural home objects.
Available scents: Unscented · French Vanilla · Amber Musk · Mahogany Teakwood · Cherry Merlot · White Eucalyptus · Orange Berry Bliss · Sandalwood Rose. All fragrances are phthalate-free.

Candle care
- ✂️ Trim the wick to 5 mm (¼ inch) before every burn for a clean, steady flame.
- ⏱️ First burn matters most — let the wax pool reach the full edge before extinguishing to prevent tunnelling.
- 🕐 Keep burns to 2–3 hours per session to prevent wick mushrooming and maintain fragrance throw.
- 📍 Place on a stable, flat surface away from draughts, fans, and open windows.
- 🛑 Stop burning when 1 cm of wax remains to protect the vessel base from overheating.
- ☀️ Store away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the sculpture's color and fragrance.
- 🔥 Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Large Horse Head Candle a working candle or a decorative piece?
Both. The sculptural detail holds well as the wax melts — many customers burn it for the scent and atmosphere, then keep it on display to preserve the form. You choose how you use it.
How does the Large version compare to the standard Horse Head Candle?
The Large version stands at 16 cm (6.3 in) — noticeably more prominent on a shelf or mantle. If you want a focal point rather than an accent piece, the Large is the one to choose.
Which scent works best for an equestrian or farmhouse aesthetic?
Mahogany Teakwood is the most grounding — warm, woodsy, and suited to the equestrian form. Sandalwood Rose is more refined and elegant. Amber Musk is clean and versatile. Unscented is available if you prefer the visual without the fragrance.
What does phthalate-free mean?
Phthalates are sometimes used in synthetic fragrances to extend longevity. We use only phthalate-free fragrance oils — the same scent throw, without the compounds. Every Votive candle is phthalate-free, paraffin-free, and made with 100% natural soy wax.
Does it ship gift-ready?
Yes. Every order ships in gift-ready packaging. Add a personalised note at checkout — the Large Horse Head Candle makes an exceptional gift for riders, equestrians, and horse lovers.
Can I pair it with other animal candles?
Yes — the Small Horse Head Candle and the Highland Cow (small and large) share the same hand-poured soy wax construction and display at complementary scales. An animal grouping makes a distinctive shelf or mantle arrangement.
