Engels Kerzen: ENGELS ORIGINAL

Taper Candles Burgundy Set of 4

Burgundy was never made to fade into the background

Candlelight has a rather clever way of changing the mood of a table within minutes. Add burgundy and it gains a little more depth. The ENGELS ORIGINAL taper candles by Engels Kerzen bring a rich, warm red to the dining table, a shelf or a windowsill, and do so without waiting for a particular season. This set contains four cast, solid-coloured taper candles made from paraffin wax in Germany and carefully finished by hand. Each candle measures 30 cm in height and 2.2 cm in diameter and features a tapered base designed to make placing it in a suitable candle holder easier. The polished surface gives these slender dinner candles the soft sheen characteristic of the ENGELS ORIGINAL collection. With a burn time of approximately 13 hours per candle, there is plenty of light for long dinners, birthday gatherings and those conversations during which checking the time somehow becomes irrelevant. The paraffin used is REACH-certified, the candles are vegan and, because the colour runs through the wax rather than sitting only on the surface, the rich burgundy tone remains part of their appearance as they burn.

A colour with no intention of waiting for Christmas

Burgundy has a useful talent: it can feel festive without being tied to the festive season. Pair these taper candles with fir green, brass or dark wood and they settle naturally into Advent and Christmas settings. Place the same colour beside blush pink, cream, pale wood or clear glass and the mood becomes lighter, making it equally at home at birthdays, weddings, Easter tables or dinner on an otherwise ordinary September evening. One candle in a simple holder creates a quiet accent; several candles in different colours or heights turn the arrangement into a small landscape of light. At 30 cm tall, each candle has enough presence for a dressed dining table while its slender silhouette keeps the overall look calm. The tapered base helps it sit neatly in a suitable candle holder. Before first lighting, Engels Kerzen recommends trimming the wick to approximately 1 cm and checking this length again before subsequent use. This supports an even, calm burn and helps you enjoy the flame for longer.

Even the final polish matters here

Engels Kerzen is a German candle manufacturer with a history reaching back to 1933. Across generations, the family-run company has combined traditional candle-making knowledge with contemporary colours, shapes and collections for interiors and table settings. With ENGELS ORIGINAL, that approach can be seen in details that hardly need an introduction: the cast body, the distinctive shape at the top and the smooth polished surface. Every candle is carefully polished by hand at the manufactory before it is packed. The material receives the same attention. The paraffin used for these taper candles is refined in Germany, REACH-certified and selected for reliable burning characteristics. Paraffin also creates the subtly translucent, luminous appearance associated with the ENGELS ORIGINAL collection. It is this combination of craftsmanship, material knowledge and enduring design that makes Engels Kerzen a natural fit for the way we curate objects at LIVOSY.

Four candles, rather more than four ideas

The burgundy set slips easily into an existing interior, yet the colour is strong enough to inspire an entirely new table setting. The deep red looks particularly considered with white or natural-toned candle holders, glass, ceramics and warm metals. For a more relaxed arrangement, combine the taper candles with other colours, heights or pillar candles by Engels Kerzen rather than keeping everything precisely matched. At LIVOSY, you can pair them with ENGELS ORIGINAL taper and pillar candles, Fine Line candles, Klassik ribbed candles and useful candle accessories such as wax adhesive pads, candle sharpeners and candle extinguishing tongs. Four burgundy candles can therefore belong to an Advent table, a birthday dinner, a quiet Sunday evening or simply provide warm light on a perfectly ordinary Tuesday. They do not require a special occasion. A candle holder, admittedly, is rather useful.
