Liljeholmens has been making fine candles for more than 150 years. They use stearin (which has a vegeta-ble base and produces an extremely clean and slow-burning candle.) Many insist these are the best quality candles in the world!

Perhaps it’s the long winter nights that have made candlelight such an integral

part of home life in Scandinavia. Candlelight creates an “occasion” out

of an ordinary day.
