Natural CLASSIC Cedar scented candle - Rathbornes 1488

Historical recipes combined with centuries of tradition in crafting luxurious scented candles are the hallmark of Rathbornes 1488. We are pleased to present this extraordinary manufactory to you.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

We strive to ensure that each candle is of the highest quality. This means focusing on every detail so that the candles, which look, burn, and smell wonderful, truly are. Developing our fragrances took eighteen months, with hundreds of hours dedicated to blending, pouring, and testing. All to achieve the perfect balance of wax and scent distribution for each size, along with the optimal thickness of various wicks, to ensure the best burn quality.

IRISH-MADE

Our candles are produced at our Dublin headquarters since 1488. They are still hand-poured as they were centuries ago, blending tradition with modernity. We are committed to manufacturing in Ireland and maintain the status of the oldest brand in Ireland.

HONORING PEOPLE

People are at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to uphold the highest ethical standards and honor our relationships with customers, wholesalers, and employees. Every aspect of our candles carries a touch of luxury, from a special beeswax blended with our traditional mineral wax. We work diligently on the details so that all you need to do is light the wick and enjoy the fragrance.

We are the oldest candle brand in the world. For centuries, we have pioneered new candle-making techniques at our factory in Dublin, and we still reside in this city. Our candles are woven into Irish communities, providing light for homes and streets for over 500 years.

BACKGROUND

It all began on Wynetavern Street, Dublin, where John G Rathborne founded our manufactory. He moved from Chester in England to start a new career in candle making. Candles have been an integral part of people's lives since the 1530s. Joseph’s candles became a key supplier for the city. Our products helped ensure Dublin and Irish seas remained safe at night, as they were used to light homes, streets, and lighthouses for residents and visitors from across the ocean.

INNOVATION AND TRADITION

With over 500 years of experience, we develop our candles along with the appropriate techniques and materials. During the industrial revolution, we moved away from animal tallow to develop new wax formulas using beeswax and stearins. This new blend provided cleaner, slower burning, while maintaining our artisanal methods, such as handcrafting all our candles.

BEYOND THE PALE COLLECTION

To celebrate being the oldest candle-making company in the world and five centuries of handcrafted production, we created the Beyond the Pale collection, featuring six beautiful fragrances that capture the spirit of Ireland with an exclusive and modern touch. The glow of candles is now more familiar in homes than on streets, and this collection is the result of centuries of innovation. Inspired by Dublin, 'Beyond the Pale' refers to the wild area beyond the safety of city walls. We crafted scents inspired by Irish roses, herbal blends of mint and thyme, and Irish tree bark. Our luxury fragrances are designed to complement the home and indulge the senses, creating a range of desirable and stylish accessories for modern living.

EXCLUSIVE BEESWAX CANDLE

This exceptional candle serves as a luxurious yet discreet decoration for homes, apartments, restaurants, spas, and hotels.

The warming aroma of cloves is synonymous with luxury and comfort. Its spicy note is deepened by scents of rosewood, orange peel, and eucalyptus. Based on rich notes of cinnamon and amber, the composition evokes autumnal, windy evenings spent safely at home, near a cozy fireplace.

The blend of genuine beeswax and natural essential oils signifies the highest quality. The unique combination of fragrance notes will become an invisible yet highly distinctive feature of the space where the candle is placed.

The Cedar, Clove & Ambergris composition was developed by Rathbornes perfumers for those who can appreciate refined fragrances. 

The candle features two symmetrically placed wicks of perfect thickness for faster wax melting, resulting in a more intense scent that delights the senses for up to 40 hours. 

It is recommended to trim the wick to 10 mm and remove any impurities before each lighting.
