XL Apollo Bust Candle

Bring the presence of classical sculpture into your home with this substantial Large Apollo Bust Candle, inspired by Apollo, the Greek god associated with music, poetry, light, and the arts.

With finely sculpted curls, classical facial features, flowing drapery, and an elegant pedestal base, this candle is designed to look as striking unlit as it does when carefully burned.

At approximately 9.84 inches tall and weighing more than 1.6 lb, this is a genuinely large Greek statue candle rather than a small decorative bust. Its scale gives it enough presence to become a focal point on a mantel, console table, bookshelf, office desk, coffee table, or classical-inspired display.

Perfect for lovers of Greek mythology, sculpture, history, classical interiors, dark academia, and unusual handmade art.

A TRUE STATEMENT CANDLE This candle was created to be noticed.

Its almost 10-inch height and wide sculptural bust make it considerably more substantial than typical decorative figure candles.

The pedestal-style base, detailed hair, draped clothing, and classical profile give the piece the appearance of a small museum sculpture—except it is handmade from wax.

More saturated colors create a contemporary interpretation of classical sculpture.

Handmade Character Each candle is individually poured and finished by hand. Small differences in color, surface texture, fine sculptural details, or tiny imperfections may naturally occur. These are characteristic of handmade sculptural candles and make every Apollo bust subtly unique. Natural soy wax is used, slight frosting or crystallization may also develop over time. This is normal and does not affect the quality of the piece.

Candle Care & Safety Because this is a large sculptural candle, its burn pattern will differ from a standard container candle.

If you choose to light it: Place it on a large, stable, heat-resistant tray or plate Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch / 5–6 mm Expect some wax dripping or uneven melting because of the sculptural form Never leave the candle unattended Keep away from children and pets Keep away from curtains, books, dried flowers, paper, and other flammable materials Do not move the candle while burning or while the wax is hot Allow the candle and tray to cool completely before handling
