The decorated pillar candle
A large pillar candle dominates this orderly workshop scene while its maker adds ornamental details. Leaves, stars, and sweeping bands cover the candle with a mixture of natural, celestial, and flowing forms. The tall shape gives each motif room to wrap around or extend along the candle's broad surface.
What makes a pillar candle different
Unlike a taper, a pillar candle is wide enough to stand on its own and usually burns inward around its wick. Candle makers can decorate the outer wax by carving it, pressing shapes into it, or applying separate wax elements. The wax must be firm enough to keep its form but workable enough for careful decoration.
