Collector’s Edition - The Human Skull Candle...
Collector’s Edition - The Human Skull Candle
In this rare creation, the Human Skull Candle stands as a relic of beauty and mortality, a life-sized wax effigy, hand-finished to mirror the fragile elegance of ancient bone, timeworn and eternal. Every hollow, curve, and fissure tells a story; a whisper of what once was and what remains.
With an extraordinary 50-hour melt, this piece transcends mere function, it is sculpture, meditation, and ritual. As the flame slowly consumes its waxen form, it recalls the ancient practice of memento mori, where art became a vessel for reflection, a reminder that all light eventually fades, and therein lies its splendour.
Through centuries, the skull has haunted our imagination: Shakespeare’s Hamlet held one aloft to ponder existence; mystics revered it as a vessel of knowledge; folklore wove it into tales of transformation and rebirth.
To own this candle is to embrace the exquisite duality of life and death, to celebrate decay as an art form, and impermanence as a muse.
A candle for collectors, dreamers, and the delightfully morbid, where wax becomes bone, and the flame burns with quiet knowing.

FRAGILE - Please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a natural reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer.
H&S - Candle safety;
- NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.
- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface, taper candles will need a stable, heat-resistant holder with a wide footprint to prevent them falling over.
- Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Don’t put under shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).
- Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.
- Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.
- Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.
- Keep wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.
- Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.
- CANDLES ARE NOT FOOD, NOT TOYS AND SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN.
