【SWAZI CANDLES】HANDMADE ARTCRAFT CANDLE Swatini Handmade Art Candle - African Elephant (Chinese)

Swaziland candles continue the tradition of floral art. However, Swaziland's talented candle makers use a special hard wax, rather than glass, to create the richly colored designs. The candle's outer shell is made of a hard wax veneer that barely melts when the candle is lit. Therefore, as the candle burns deep into the container and illuminates the outer shell, the illuminated exterior emits a rich and romantic glow. Even if the original inner wax disappears, the outer shell can still be reused after being reinstalled with a wishing candle or tea candle. Miniature candles, due to their smaller size, do not burn in this way; both the inner and outer wax melt with the flame, but they still retain their intrinsic value as Swaziland handicrafts and possess the ethereal, luminous quality that Swaziland candles are renowned for.

  Art and Color Creation

  The wax is first stained in a large tray and then cooled into sheets. These sheets are then cut into strips and layered to form the desired pattern. The layered strips are then extruded to provide patterns with intricate details and then cut into usable veneers.

  Finally, our artisans heat the veneers and skillfully hand-carve them into beautiful animal or geometric shapes.

  Each candle is crafted using the ancient Milerfiori technique, featuring stunning designs that are then hand-shaped. This meticulous process makes each candle a unique work of art.
