Did you know that beeswax candles were prized possessions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? They are known for their brilliant light, long burning time and sweet smell. They were made by the Chandler and were among the most expensive products one could buy at the time. What was used by common folks? Tallow candles were far more common and could not be more polar opposite. It was dim, smelled bad, and left terrible drippings that would go rancid if not regularly cleaned. Oil lamps replaced both, then kerosene, gas, and finally electricity. Today, candles can add a bit of ambiance to any environment, such as this 18th-century reenactment. Just be careful when an open flame is around. Always keep your eye on it! , , , , ,
