History of Candles

The warm, cozy glow of a candle can instantly transform any room. Candles have been part of our lives for centuries and have played an important role in creating a sense of home and comfort. While the Egyptians were using wicked candles as early as 3,000 B.C., the ancient Romans are generally credited with developing the wicked candle before that time by dipping rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow or beeswax.

Evidence also suggests that many other early civilizations developed their own versions of wicked candles using waxes made from available plants and insects. The Chinese even molded paper tubes filled with wax and rolled rice paper for the wick! India, candle wax was made by boiling the fruit of the cinnamon tree.

The 19th century was a key time for candles, and brought with it lots of developments! Thanks to the work of French chemist Michel Eugene Chevreul, stearin wax was created from animal fatty acids. Stearin candles have a special place in European households even today - they burn cleanly and brightly, giving your home a cozy atmosphere.
