The twisted column has centuries of precedent. Bernini used eight Solomonic columns — their helical twist rising six stories high — in the baldachin he built over the altar of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Before that, Byzantine architects twisted stone columns to suggest movement in sacred spaces. The spiral implied power and devotion. In a candle on your table, it implies something simpler: that whoever chose it has good taste.
The Twisted Taper Candle is hand-poured from 100% natural soy wax at our Orlando studio. Standing 25 cm (9.8 in.) tall and weighing 125 g, it's sized for standard taper holders and available in 10 colors — Ivory to Black — each individually poured and finished. Unscented, because the form is the point.

FAQs — Twisted Taper Candle
What size is the Twisted Taper Candle?
The Twisted Taper stands 25 cm (9.8 in.) tall and weighs 125 g. It fits standard taper candleholders.
Is the Twisted Taper Candle scented?
No — these tapers are unscented. The sculptural twist speaks for itself. The natural soy wax carries a subtle warmth when burned, without competing fragrance. Ideal for dinner tables and settings where the visual form is the feature.
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 Twisted Taper pairs well with the Ribbed and Ombre Tapers in the same palette.
Does the twisted shape hold as the candle burns?
Yes. The helical twist holds its form throughout the candle's life as it burns from the wick downward. The spiral detail remains visible until the very end, catching light across its ridges as it shortens.
Is the Twisted 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, handmade in Orlando.
Can I use the Twisted Taper as a display piece without lighting it?
Absolutely. Many customers keep it unlit permanently — the sculptural form stands on its own. Placed in a simple holder on a shelf or mantlepiece, the Twisted Taper functions as a permanent sculptural object as much as a candle.
