Natural CLASSIC Dublin Tea Rose scented candle – Rathbornes 1488

Old recipes combined with centuries of tradition in the production of elegant 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 candle size, along with the optimal thickness of various wicks, selected to ensure the highest quality burn.

IRISH-MADE

Our candles are crafted 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 company 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 has a touch of luxury, from a special beeswax blended with our traditional mineral wax. We work hard on the details so that all you need to do is light the wick and enjoy the fragrance.

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

HISTORY

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 made Dublin and Ireland’s seas 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 stearic acid. This new blend ensured cleaner, slower burning while maintaining our handcrafted methods, such as hand-pouring all our candles.

“BEYOND THE PALE” COLLECTION

To celebrate being the oldest candle manufacturer in the world and five centuries of handcrafted production, we created the Beyond the Pale collection—six beautiful fragrances that capture the spirit of Ireland with an exclusive and modern twist. 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, the phrase “Beyond the Pale” refers to the wild area outside the safety of city walls. We crafted scents inspired by Irish roses, herbal combinations of mint and thyme, and Irish tree bark. Our luxurious fragrances are designed to complement your home and indulge the senses, creating a range of desirable and stylish accessories for modern living.

EXCLUSIVE BEESWAX CANDLE

This unique candle offers a luxurious yet discreet decoration for homes, apartments, restaurants, spas, and hotels.

The warm citrus and berry notes blend smoothly with the middle notes of creamy roses and sweet vanilla. The top and heart notes rest on a base of balsamic agarwood, captivating patchouli, and rich amber resin. This scent will instantly transport you to the green Irish coast, where you can experience a moment of true tranquility.

The combination of genuine beeswax and natural essential oils signifies the highest quality. The unique fragrance composition will become an invisible but highly distinctive signature of the space where the candle is placed.

Housed in an elegant glass and packaged in a stylish box, this candle makes a special gift for connoisseurs of beauty.
