Taper fitment and dripcatch
Taper-candle fitment is the single most-returned fault in candlestick retail — the taper either doesn't seat or drips wax onto the surface. Our development spec locks the taper socket diameter to a specific standard (US 7/8″ or 22 mm EU) by region, and we audit the first production batch against both taper standards before releasing the PO.

Frequently asked
What's the typical FOB India price for a brass candlestick?
$3-$18 depending on height and complexity; polished nickel adds roughly 15-25% to the brass base.
Can you source candelabras for US buyers with Prop 65 compliance?
Yes. Polished nickel over brass is Prop 65-compliant; we attach the material declaration and heavy-metal test report with every US-bound shipment.
