Set of luxury beeswax candles - Rathbornes 1488

Old recipes combined with centuries of tradition in crafting exclusive scented candles are the hallmark of the Rathbornes 1488 brand. 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 look, burn, and smell truly wonderful. It took us eighteen months to create our fragrances, with hundreds of hours spent on blending, pouring, and testing. This ensures that for each candle size, there is the best balance of wax and fragrance distribution combined with the optimal thickness of various wicks selected to provide the highest quality burn.

IRISH-MADE

Our candles have been made at our Dublin headquarters since 1488. They are still hand-poured, just as they were centuries ago, providing a correlation between tradition and modernity. We are committed to production in Ireland and maintain the status of the oldest brand in Ireland.

HONORING PEOPLE

People are at the heart of what we do. Our goal is to maintain the highest ethical standards and honor our relationships with customers, wholesalers, and employees. Every aspect of our candles has a touch of luxury, from the special beeswax mixed with our traditional mineral wax. We work hard on the details so that all you have to do is light the wick and enjoy the fragrance.
We are the oldest candle-making brand in the world. For centuries, we have been pioneers of new candle production techniques at our factory in Dublin, and we still reside in this city. Our candles are woven into the community of Ireland and have provided 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, England, to start a new profession 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 the city of Dublin and the Irish seas safe at night, as they were used to illuminate homes, streets, and lighthouses for residents and guests from across the ocean.

INNOVATION AND TRADITION

Throughout our 500 years of experience, we have developed our candles and the appropriate techniques and materials for our products. During the industrial revolution, we moved away from animal tallow to develop special new wax formulas using beeswax and stearin. This new blend provided a clean, slower burn while preserving our artisanal methods, such as handcrafting all our candles.

THE “BEYOND THE PALE” COLLECTION

To celebrate being the oldest candle-making company in the world and five centuries of handcrafting, 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 the streets, and this collection is the result of centuries of innovation. We drew inspiration from Dublin, saying: Beyond the Pale; the wild area beyond the safety of the city walls. We created scents inspired by Irish roses, herbal combinations of mint and thyme, and Irish tree bark. We craft our luxurious fragrances to complement the home and indulge the senses, creating a range of desirable and stylish accessories for modern living.
