The ribbed column is one of architecture's oldest design elements. Ancient Greek temples — the Parthenon, the Temple of Hera at Olympia — used fluted columns to play light across stone, to make a vertical surface appear both heavier and more alive. The Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders all used the flute; in the Renaissance it became a marker of refinement; in Art Deco it became a motif of modernity. That same impulse — textured surface, vertical rhythm, material caught in light — is here, in soy wax, at table height.
The Ribbed Taper Candle is hand-poured from 100% natural soy wax at our Orlando studio. Standing 27 cm (10.6 in.) tall with a 3.4 cm base, it's sized for standard taper holders. Available in 10 colors — from Ivory and Beige to Moss Green and Black — each individually poured and finished. Unscented, so nothing competes with dinner.

FAQs — Ribbed Taper Candle
What size is the Ribbed Taper Candle?
The Ribbed Taper stands 27 cm (10.6 in.) tall with a 3.4 cm base diameter. It fits standard taper candleholders.
Is the Ribbed Taper Candle scented?
No — these tapers are unscented. The sculptural ribbed surface takes center stage, and the neutral soy wax warmth is a subtle background note, not a competing fragrance. Ideal for dining settings where food aromas should remain undisturbed.
How many colors are available?
Ten colors: Ivory, Beige, Dusty Rose, Blush Pink, Sage, Powder Blue, Lavender, Black, Moss Green, and Soft Alabaster. Select at checkout. The Ribbed Taper is designed to mix and match with the Twisted and Ombre Tapers in the same palette.
Do the candles require a special holder?
Any standard taper candleholder works. The 3.4 cm base fits most common holders. If your holder runs slightly small, gently warm the base with your hands to soften the wax and ease it into place — a standard taper trick.
Is the Ribbed Taper Candle made from natural wax?
Yes. 100% natural soy wax with a lead-free cotton wick. No paraffin, no synthetic wax blends — clean-burning soy wax, handmade in Orlando.
Can I order the Ribbed Taper for a wedding or event?
Yes. For large event or wedding orders, reach out at contact@votivecandlestore.com. The Ribbed Taper is a strong choice for tablescapes — the ribbed surface catches candlelight in a way smooth tapers don't.
