Extra Large Veiled Lady Sculptural Candle
Art: VTV-E-LDW-00932
Description
In 1850, Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza unveiled a marble bust so technically extraordinary that visitors reportedly refused to believe the veil was carved from stone rather than actual fabric. The Veiled Lady Candle takes that same principle — the illusion of transparency in a solid material — and renders it in natural soy wax.
When lit, the wax veil appears to glow from within, diffusing the flame into something softer and more atmospheric than a standard candle. Unlit, it reads as a sculptural object worthy of any shelf or mantlepiece. This Extra Large version is hand-poured and hand-finished individually at our Orlando, Florida studio. Burns for 60–75 hours.
Available scents: White Lilac · Lime & Lavander · English Rose · Unscented. Each fragrance is crafted from phthalate-free oils chosen to complement the character of the sculpture — choose at checkout.

FAQ
Our sculptural candles are handcrafted from 100% natural soy wax or a soy-beeswax blend, combined with cotton wicks for a clean burn. We use only non-toxic, phthalate-free fragrances or essential oils, ensuring both beauty and safety.
While sculptural candles make stunning décor, they are fully functional and safe to burn if placed on a heat-resistant surface. For the best experience, burn them in a candle-safe dish to catch melted wax and preserve their unique shape longer.
VOTIVE combines artistic design with eco-conscious production. Our candles are made from non-GMO soy wax, natural wicks, and clean scents, and are poured in small batches for quality. Every design is created to be both a statement piece and a safe, clean-burning candle.
Yes—our candles are made without paraffin, toxins, or harmful chemicals, making them safer for homes with pets and children. However, as with all candles, keep them out of reach and never leave them burning unattended.
We aim to reduce waste wherever possible by using recyclable boxes and biodegradable fillers. While some fragile items may still be wrapped in bubble wrap for protection, we encourage customers to reuse or recycle it responsibly.
🦺 SAFETY FIRST
- Do not leave lit candles unattended; extinguish them if you leave the room.
- Keep candles out of children's reach.
- Store in cool, dark places, away from sunlight.
- Given the type of candle, ensure you use a stable, heat-resistant surface.
