taper candles

Slim wax sticks

Taper candles are tall, slender candles that narrow toward the top, designed to fit into candlesticks or candelabras.

They provide ambient lighting for dining tables, religious ceremonies, and formal occasions: She lit the taper candles before guests arrived.

The shape allows them to burn evenly and drip minimally when properly fitted.
