The world's only truly no drip domestic candle; made with internal bores to collect the wax.
The first perforated candle was invented in 1900 by the soap manufacturer Fournier-Ferrier and was widely used in France until the advent of cheaper mass produced foreign imports. The unique structure of the perforated candled makes it the world’s truly only non-drip candle. Melting wax, instead of running down the outside of the candle, filters back inside the candle via the bores. Bougies la Française has been manufacturing in France since 1902 making it one of the country’s oldest candle makers. Today Bougies la Française is the last company in the world which is able to produce the remarkable perforated candle; not only being the only company still to have the expertise it also owns the world’s last two surviving machines.
Each candle burns for 7.5 hours.
Bougies la Française uses identical packaging to its original Art Nouveau designs of the early part of last century.
