Candle Collection ASTRAX - Handmade Set with Certified Wax from Královské Poříčí

ASTRAX candle collection, 4 pieces – a handmade set from Královské Poříčí (SVITSOL)

This is a set of four candles made from a premium paraffin wax blend, with cotton wicks and an orange fragrance. The candles are 18-12-12 and 5.5 cm tall, with diameters of 3.5–4.5 and 5 cm; the whole collection weighs 0.6 kg. The burn time is 77–100 hours. We make them by hand in the workshop on the farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, so we have 22 years of experience working with wax.

What is it made of?

The base is a premium paraffin wax blend (palm oil free). We stick with paraffin because it keeps its shape, does not slump to the sides and copes with cooler rooms too – for a decorative collection that stands on the table all season, that matters more than a fashionable material. The wick is cotton and sized for each diameter separately, so that the flame does not flare to the sides and the wax melts evenly.

The fragrance is orange – citrusy, warm, without a sweet finish. It goes well with wood, textiles and a laid table because it does not overpower the food.

How long does it burn?

The burn time of the collection is 77–100 hours. The range comes from the fact that the candles in the set differ in height and diameter: the tallest piece lasts longest and the lowest burns down sooner. If you burn the candles in shorter sessions and trim the wick before each lighting, you will reach the upper limit.

How big is the set?

Four pieces with heights of 18-12-12 and 5.5 cm and diameters of 3.5–4.5 and 5 cm. The graduated height is intentional – placed side by side, the collection forms a natural line and does not look like four identical pillars in a row. The whole set weighs 0.6 kg.

Where it fits

• Festive table – dinner, celebration, wedding. The set lasts the whole evening and several evenings in a row.
• Wreath or tray – seasonal and year-round decoration; the lowest candle completes the composition.
• Chest of drawers, windowsill, shelf – quick styling without any extra accessories.
• Quiet corner at home – reading, a bath, an evening without the phone.

Placement tip: a simple wooden or metal tray with a few twigs or dried flowers. Nothing more is needed.

As a gift

This collection of four candles is a gift you can give even to someone you do not know well – it does not depend on size, colour or the recipient's taste. It works for Christmas, a birthday, as a thank-you or as a corporate gift. Orange is one of those fragrances that offend no one.

Care and storage

• Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting.
• Burn for no more than 1–2 hours at a time, then let the wax set.
• Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, ideally at 15–20 °C.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended and place it on a non-flammable surface.

Delivery and pickup

• Personal pickup at the workshop in Královské Poříčí by arrangement.
• We deliver within the Czech Republic.

Where you can see it

You can order the collection in our online shop or stop by in person. In the gallery and workshop in Královské Poříčí you can see the candles up close, smell them and choose from our other decorative ranges too. The wax is poured by hand here, so each piece differs slightly in its details – that is part of handmade production.
