Pollen Arts offers handmade beeswax candles crafted from wax from local bees. They are works of art, and your purchase supports the work of preserving wild bees. Pollen Arts is based around a few basic principles: love for the craft, romancing the process, and honoring the bees who supply this wax. Thank you to all who support these endeavors!

Text: Antique Skeleton Key
Size: 4 5/8 T x 1 5/8 W
Description: This candle is an architectural delight with it's sloped shoulders and cut edges. It's an elegant piece to view ablaze or just as a wax sculpture. The long flat key stands in relief boldly from the bottle, and this square shape makes it one of our best burning candles.
Burning Note: The thicker the candle, the longer burn sessions it requires. I recommend burning this candle for 1 hour at a time and upwards of 1 ½ / 2 + hours. The reason for this is that the heat of the flame needs time to melt away the walls and feed the wax pool, so give it time to get the greatest value.
You can also “kneed” or press the warm lip of the candle inwards to get the walls to melt in faster and more efficiently.
Trimming the tip of the wick before each new burn is also beneficial. You can use scissors or nip the brittle end of the cold candle wick with your thumb nail. This eliminates any accumulation of carbon, burnt honey, pollen or propolis from the fabric and allows for a healthy flame and good flow of wax.
