Engels Kerzen: ENGELS OBJECTS

Decorative Fir Tree S Velvet Lacquer Burgundy

Small, burgundy and unmistakably festive

The Engels Kerzen Tanne S object candle with velvet lacquer in Burgundy is the smallest version of the sculptural fir-tree design and ideal for places where a hint of Christmas is welcome without a large arrangement taking over. Measuring 15 cm high and 6.2 cm in diameter, it fits easily on a dining table, small tray, windowsill or among branches and pine cones in an Advent display. Its pared-back silhouette is instantly recognisable as a Christmas tree, while the softly tiered layers keep the look clean and contemporary. The Burgundy shade adds warmth: a deep red that feels festive without becoming overly traditional. Handmade in Germany from paraffin wax, the shaped candle is solid-coloured, dipped, vegan and REACH-certified. Its matt velvet-lacquer finish catches light softly rather than reflecting it strongly, giving the colour greater depth while remaining resistant to fingerprints. Weighing 0.12 kg and offering a burning time of approximately 20 hours, Tanne S is a small decorative object that is very much intended to be lit. Eventually. We fully understand if it spends a few days simply looking good first.

A small accent with plenty of possibilities

As part of the ENGELS OBJEKTE collection, Tanne S can be worked easily into Advent and Christmas arrangements. Its compact size makes it particularly useful where a larger candle would feel too dominant: between plates and glassware on the Christmas table, on a narrow windowsill or as a quiet colour accent on a sideboard. Burgundy pairs beautifully with natural wood, warm beige, glass and fir green, but it also combines well with lighter or deeper candle colours. The velvet lacquer strengthens the sculptural effect and gives the little tree a soft visual depth. Even unlit, it remains a decorative object in its own right.

Candle-making craftsmanship since 1933

Engels Kerzen has been making candles in Germany since 1933, combining traditional craftsmanship with a considered approach to colour, form and surface. Wax, wick, burning behaviour and workmanship are treated with the same care as the visual design. The paraffin used is refined in Germany, vegan and REACH-certified. The object candles in the ENGELS OBJEKTE collection show how this material knowledge can be translated into decorative forms that work long before the flame is lit. Tanne S in Burgundy brings that approach together on a smaller scale: a clear silhouette, a quiet matt finish and a colour that feels unmistakably seasonal without demanding attention. That balance of atmosphere, material and design sits naturally within the LIVOSY world.

Even small trees enjoy a little company

The Tanne S object candle in Burgundy looks particularly good alongside the M and L sizes from the same collection. Different heights create a small winter landscape, while repeating the colour keeps the composition calm. For more contrast, Burgundy can be paired with Spruce or Pebble. Engels taper candles, pillar candles and ribbed candles also sit well beside it, adding further points of light to a table or Advent arrangement. Before first lighting, Engels recommends trimming the wick to approximately 1 cm and checking the length again before relighting. A suitable candle plate will help protect the surface beneath. This way, the little tree begins as decoration before providing around 20 hours of candlelight. Quite a lot of ambition for 15 centimetres.
