Making candles is an ancient craft. STHLM’s candle workshop on Södermalm, in Per-Anders Fogelström’s neighborhood and where Liljeholmens Ljusfabrik once stood, carries on the tradition.

Great care is taken to ensure that the candles feel genuine. When the candle mass is warm, the antique candles are carefully molded and shaped by hand.

The long burning time and beautiful flame are the result of the right mix of stearin, paraffin, wax and wick yarn.

Burner tubes made of specially tempered and heat-resistant clear glass for our kerosene lamps.

Traditional hand molded pillar candle. When the candle mass is hot, the branch candle is molded and shaped by hand. The long burning time and beautiful flame are the result of the right mix of stearin, paraffin, wax and wick yarn.

Wall lamp from around 1800. Tin-plate lamps and sconces were common in many homes during the 18th and 19th centuries throughout Sweden. Often, like this one, they had a simple shape with a dotted pattern of beads and flowers.

Gives a pleasant glow with its tinted surface. One of the special features of this particular lamp is that when the light has burned down to a short stub, a shadow angel appears on the wall behind, with curly hair and wings that move when the flame flutters.
