Lamp kerosene

2 pairs of handmade candles from Stockholms ljusstöperi.

Making candles is an ancient craft. Stockholm’s candle workshop on Södermalm, in Per-Anders Fogelström’s neighborhood and where Liljeholmens Ljusfabrik was once located, carries on the tradition. Great emphasis is placed on making the candles feel genuine. When the candle mass is hot, the antique candles are molded and shaped by hand. The long burning time and the beautiful flame are a result of the right mixture of stearin, paraffin, wax and wick yarn.

4-pack. Stearin, paraffin, wax and wick yarn. Length 40cm.

The kerosene lamp is equipped with a round burner whose design is based on the patent of the Swiss Aimé Argand, where the richly perforated gallery and the airy design of the wick cone allow an abundant supply of oxygen that provides a very efficient combustion that results in a 6-15 times stronger brightness compared to lace wick burners.
