Tapered candles are long, slender candles that taper to a point at the top. They are typically used in candle holders and are popular for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere during dinners or special occasions. Tapered candles come in various colors and sizes, allowing for customization to match different decor styles. These candles are often made from paraffin wax, beeswax, or soy wax, each offering unique burning characteristics. Tapered candles can burn for several hours, depending on their size and the type of wax used. They are commonly used in candelabras and on dining tables for both practical and decorative purposes.
