Price's Candles
Price’s Candles — Royal Warrant Candle Makers Since 1830
Price’s Candles have been crafting exceptional candles since 1830, earning a Royal Warrant and global recognition as one of the world’s most historic candle makers. Renowned for reliability, quality, and innovation, Price’s pioneered stearine candles in the 19th century — a cleaner, longer-burning alternative to beeswax — and secured over 100 patents that shaped modern candle making.
Today, Price’s Candles UK continues that legacy with a timeless collection of scented and unscented candles, reed diffusers, and tealights for home, wellbeing, and ritual. Their range includes church and altar candles, pillar candles, and modern home fragrances, each reflecting the brand’s heritage, craftsmanship, and everyday luxury.
Still made to Royal Warrant standards, Price’s Candles blend British tradition with contemporary design — lighting homes, sacred spaces, and hearts for over 190 years.

jasmine help soothe stress and support meditation or bedtime rituals. - For Sacred Rituals & Prayer – Unscented altar candles or church pillars provide steady light without
distraction, ideal for spiritual focus, ceremonies, and offerings. - For Everyday Ambience – Tealights and nightlights are versatile for dining, bathtime rituals, or simply bringing gentle warmth into your home.
- For Long Ceremonies or Meditation – Large pillar candles provide hours of steady burn, making them perfect for seasonal circles, vigils, and extended sessions.

Beginners can simply start by setting an intention, calm, clarity, celebration, or protection, and let the type of candle guide the ritual.
Eco & Candle Wax Types – Cleaner Burning Choices
Price’s has a long tradition of innovation in wax. In the 19th century they pioneered the use of stearine,
which offered a cleaner and longer-lasting burn compared to traditional tallow, and allowed candles to become more affordable without sacrificing quality. Today, Price’s continue this legacy by offering
blends designed for clean-burning, low-drip performance.
Alongside Price’s heritage ranges, Sacred Essence complements their offering with eco-conscious candles crafted from natural soy wax and essential oils. This means you can choose between the tradition of Price’s stearine-based candles and modern soy
alternatives, giving flexibility for both ritual use and eco-living.
- Stearine Candles – Long burn, clean flame, historically innovative, with excellent consistency.
- Beeswax Candles – Naturally honey-scented, rich golden flame, used in sacred and ceremonial settings.
- Soy Wax Candles – Eco-friendly, vegan, biodegradable, and blended with essential oils for holistic wellbeing.
- Paraffin Blends – Affordable, accessible, and versatile, often used in decorative and everyday candle ranges.
This educational approach helps customers choose by values and intention, whether they are looking for heritage craftsmanship, eco-friendly materials, or pure ritual use.
