Flameless LED Wax Pillar Candle in Smoke
Preorder - ETA approx 7-10 working days
Charcoal candles do something the pale ones cannot, and it happens the moment the light drops. The wax turns almost invisible and the flame appears to float. The Classic LED Wax Pillar Candle in Smoke is the colourway to reach for when a room needs contrast rather than more softness.
Made from genuine wax in a deep, slightly dusty charcoal, each candle has a hollowed rim and an uneven top edge that reads as used rather than manufactured. The LED flame moves and flickers instead of glowing flatly. Four sizes give you the option of a single dramatic pillar or a full graduated grouping. Sizes
- Small: 7.5 x 10 cm
- Medium: 7.5 x 12.5 cm
- Large: 10 x 15 cm
- Extra Large: 10 x 20 cm Do they need batteries?
Yes, 2 x AA per candle, not included, switched from the base. Does the dark wax show dust?
Less than you would expect, though a matte charcoal will show fingerprints more readily than the natural. A dry cloth is all they need. Keep them out of direct sun, which will fade any dark wax over time, and they will hold their colour for years. Will smoke work in a light room?
It is often the better choice. A pale, tonal room needs one dark anchor to stop it reading as unfinished, and a grouping of charcoal pillars does that job without adding pattern or noise. The same logic runs through Monochrome Mood.
Against black steel, dark timber or a moody wall colour they recede beautifully, leaving only the flame. Against white plaster they draw the eye exactly where you want it. Either way they pair well with the sculptural pieces in Decor. Why You'll Love It
- Real wax in a deep charcoal that photographs as well as it lives
- A flame that appears to float once the light drops
- Completely flameless, so they can burn all night unattended
- Four sizes for a graduated grouping or one strong single
- Nothing to melt, drip, stain or set off a smoke alarm Where It Earns Its Place
Smoke wants a hard surface underneath it. Slate, dark stone, blackened metal or a chunky timber board all work better than fabric. Group three on a mantel with plenty of space between them rather than crowding, and let the extra large stand alone on the hearth. In a dining room, a pair of larges at either end of the table beats a cluster in the middle. They also look particularly good beside a dark ceramic vase with a single dried stem.
As a gift, smoke suits the person whose home is all charcoal and oak, or anyone setting up a first flat with more taste than budget. Pair a large with something from Gift Ideas for Him for a present that does not feel like a candle gift. What it comes down to
