The burgundy pillar candle's deep, rich, wine-like shade brings refined elegance and autumnal warmth to any space. We recommend this 21 cm tall column candle to you if you are looking for a characterful candle for classic festive table settings, Christmas decor, a wine dinner or a simple but elegant Sunday family lunch.
The character of burgundy
Burgundy is not simply a darker red — it is a colour with its own personality, evoking deep wine, ripe plum and aged velvet. Quieter than classic red, yet warmer and more personal. You will find that a burgundy candle immediately makes the dining area feel cosier — never showy, yet always present.
For wine dinners and Christmas
Burgundy works particularly well with a wine dinner: the colour of the wine in the glass and the candle complement each other. For Christmas, combined with gold, copper and pine green accessories, it gives a classic festive look — a burgundy candle in the centre of the table lifts the whole family Christmas dinner.
The candle material
This pillar candle is made of paraffin wax and manufactured in Germany. Consistent wax density and a centred wick ensure a non-drip burn. The burgundy pigment is present throughout the entire wax body, so the colour does not fade during burning — it keeps its rich, deep character from start to finish.
Burn time and flame
The 21 cm height delivers approximately 8 hours of burn time. The flame is tall, clean and steady. One candle accompanies a longer dinner evening or a Christmas dinner from start to finish. The warm flame and deep burgundy wax together create a particularly elegant, intimate light.
How to use it safely
Place the candle in a stable, heat-resistant holder. The 2 cm diameter fits most standard pillar holders. Keep it away from curtains, Christmas textile decorations and pine branches, as these are flammable. Never leave a burning candle unattended, especially if dried decorations sit on the wreath or centrepiece.
Storage after the holidays
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Paraffin wax softens in heat, so a cool attic after the heating season is suitable, but a warm cellar or a shelf next to a radiator is not. Stored correctly, it keeps its deep burgundy colour and slim shape for years to come.
