Large Persephone Pomegranate Beeswax Candle

Inspired by the ancient tale of Persephone and the pomegranate that bound her to the underworld, this sculptural candle evokes the beauty, mystery, and symbolism of one of mythology's most enduring stories. Molded in the form of a freshly opened pomegranate, with its jeweled seeds revealed within, it serves as both a striking decorative object and a functional candle.

Each candle is hand-poured on a small Connecticut farm using locally harvested beeswax and finished with a natural cotton wick. The rich pomegranate hue is achieved with vegetable-based dyes, while a phthalate-free pomegranate fragrance oil lends a subtle fruity aroma that fills the room with warmth and intrigue.

The pomegranate has long been a symbol of abundance, renewal, and the changing seasons—a fitting accent for a thoughtfully curated home. Display it among antique books, atop a marble pedestal, or within a cabinet of curiosities where its classical inspiration can shine.

Candle Care: Burn only on a ceramic dish or other fire-safe surface. Natural beeswax may drip as it burns, so we recommend protecting furniture and decorative surfaces from wax drippings. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
