Ships in 3–6 business days · Gift-ready packaging

The snake has never been neutral. In ancient Greece, Asclepius carried a staff with a serpent coiled around it — the symbol of medicine still used today. In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr encircled the world. In Egyptian tradition, the uraeus cobra crowned the pharaoh. The snake is transformation, renewal, danger, wisdom — all at once, all in the same form. That tension is exactly what makes it such a compelling subject for a dinner candle.

The Snake Taper Candle is a sculptural dinner candle and one of our most dramatic gothic halloween candles and halloween candlesticks — with a snake coiled around the taper base, hand-finished in your choice of candle body color and snake finish. This is a table piece that draws attention before the food arrives and holds it through the meal.

Can I display it without burning it?

These sculptural snake candles are designed primarily as decorative pieces.
If you choose to burn the candle, please do so only in a well-ventilated area with good air circulation. Do not burn in small, enclosed, or poorly ventilated spaces.
Please note that some decorative details are hand-painted with acrylic paint. For this reason, burning is not recommended once the flame reaches or comes into direct contact with painted areas. Acrylic-painted surfaces should not be burned in enclosed spaces, as heating or burning the paint may produce unpleasant fumes.
