Fig Candle

'From The Table' Collection
A companion to The Cheese Course Collection

Small in stature but abundant in symbolism, the Fig Candle is a darkly rich, sculptural nod to one of nature’s most evocative fruits. Hand-poured in deep, plum-toned wax and finished with care, it brings both beauty and myth to the table, a perfect companion to our wax cheeses and an indulgent addition to any display.

Throughout time, the fig has held sacred, sensual, and spiritual weight. In Babylonian mythology, the goddess Ishtar took the form of the divine fig tree Xikum, the “primeval mother at the central place of the earth,” guardian of the saviour Tammuz. In Buddhism, the Buddha reached enlightenment beneath a fig tree. And in the Book of Genesis, fig leaves were used by Adam and Eve to conceal their nakedness, a symbol of awakening and vulnerability. Long associated with fertility and femininity, the fig continues to represent nature’s dualities: sweetness and secrecy, abundance and restraint.

The Fig Candle is rich in mood and layered in meaning, a small flame carrying centuries of story.

All-natural. Decadent and divine. A fruit of myth, ritual, and revelation.

FRAGILE - Please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a natural reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer. 

H&S - Candle safety; 
- NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.
- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface, taper candles will need a stable, heat-resistant holder with a wide footprint to prevent them falling over.
- Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Don’t put under shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).
- Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.
- Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.
- Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.
- Keep wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.
- Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.
- CANDLES ARE NOT FOOD, NOT TOYS AND SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN.
