Hand-Painted Celebration Dinner Candles - Set of 2

Each unscented candle begins as a smooth white dinner candle, hand‑poured from fully refined paraffin wax with 100% cotton wicks. After pouring, every candle is meticulously hand‑painted using high‑quality colour pigments mixed with hot wax. A sponge creates the background shades and broad colour bands, while the finer details are added by hand with a small brush. The result is a luxurious, handcrafted design, with each candle becoming a unique work of art. No two patterns are exactly the same, yet all sit beautifully within the same colour palette. To protect the delicate wax artwork, each candle is carefully wrapped before shipping.

Kapula’s distinctive candles are handmade in Bredasdorp, a small town in South Africa’s Overberg region. Their vibrant designs reflect the spirit of Africa, and the company is committed to supporting their family, community, and local economy. Kapula’s mission is to provide sustainable employment within their farming community and to share “The Warm Art of Africa” with the world through culture, craftsmanship, and creativity.

Handcrafted in South Africa by Kapula Candles

Materials: Unscented, fully refined paraffin wax; finest colour pigments mixed with hot wax; 100% cotton wicks; individually wrapped in cellophane.

Care: Keep candles away from draughts, as this may cause uneven burning or excessive dripping. Never leave a burning candle unattended or near flammable materials. Candles have a long shelf life, but over time their colours may fade and the surface may become slightly sticky. To slow this natural ageing process, store candles in a cool, dark place inside an airtight container or wrapped in plastic.

Burn time: Approximately 8 hours per candle.
