Red Venetian Taper Dinner Candles 10″ - 10 Pack - Up to 7 Hours

Up to 7 Hours Burn Time

Each candle is designed to burn for up to approximately 7 hours under suitable conditions.

Actual burn time will vary according to wick length, draughts, room temperature, holder fit and how long the candle is burned at one time.

Keeping the candle upright, away from draughts and securely fitted into an appropriate holder will help support a steadier burn.

The quoted seven-hour figure should be treated as a maximum under ideal conditions rather than a guaranteed duration in every setting.

Red Taper Candles for Christmas & Seasonal Displays

Red taper candles are especially popular for Christmas and winter décor.

Their strong colour works naturally with greenery, gold, silver, white and traditional festive table settings.

They can be used in:

• Christmas dinner tables
• seasonal centrepieces
• mantel displays
• candelabras
• festive events
• winter ceremonies
• decorative lantern-style arrangements

Because they are unscented, they add colour and candlelight without competing with festive food or home fragrance.

Valentine’s & Romantic Table Settings

Red dinner candles are also a natural choice for romantic dinners and Valentine’s Day styling.

Their tall shape creates a more traditional candlelit-table effect than short tealights, while the deep red colour brings warmth and emphasis to the setting.

They work well in pairs, grouped in candelabras or mixed with neutral candle holders for a more understated look.

Weddings, Celebrations & Events

These red taper candles can also work beautifully in wedding, reception and event styling where red forms part of the colour scheme.

They can add contrast to white table linen, darker décor or floral arrangements, while the unscented finish keeps them suitable for dining areas.

For larger displays, always maintain safe spacing between lit candles and surrounding décor.

Table Candles & Candlestick Use

At approximately 2.2cm diameter, these dinner candles are designed for suitable taper candle holders or candlesticks.

The fit should be secure and upright before lighting.

A loose-fitting dinner candle can lean, drip unpredictably or become unstable, so always make sure the base sits firmly inside the holder.

Do not force an oversized candle into a holder that is too narrow.

Designed for a Cleaner Burn

The supplied Price’s information describes the Venetian range as smokeless and drip-free in the right conditions.

In practice, all candles can smoke or drip if exposed to draughts, excessive wick length, uneven placement or heat.

For that reason, it is more accurate to describe these as designed for a low-smoke, low-drip burn when used correctly.

If the flame begins to smoke, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool and trim the wick before relighting.

Ritual, Ceremony & Symbolic Use

Red candles are also commonly chosen for personal ritual, ceremony, prayer or altar arrangements.

Depending on the tradition or individual practice, red may be associated symbolically with themes such as love, passion, vitality, courage or strength.

These associations are symbolic and personal rather than guaranteed spiritual effects.

How to Use

Remove all outer wrapping and packaging before lighting.

Place the candle securely in a suitable non-flammable dinner candle holder and check that it stands completely upright.

Trim the wick to approximately 1cm / ½″ before lighting or relighting if needed.

Keep the candle away from draughts, direct sunlight, televisions, radiators and other heat sources.

Allow enough clear space above and around the flame for heat to disperse safely.

Candle Safety

For safer use:

• never leave a burning candle unattended
• keep away from children and pets
• always use a suitable non-flammable taper candle holder
• make sure the candle fits tightly and stands upright
• keep away from curtains, paper, flowers and other flammable materials
• leave at least 10cm / 4″ between burning candles
• keep away from draughts and direct heat sources
• trim the wick to around 1cm / ½″ before lighting or relighting
• extinguish if the candle begins to smoke
• do not move while lit or while wax is liquid
• extinguish before the flame reaches approximately 2cm / 1″ from the holder
• never use water to extinguish a candle
