Retro Glass Candle Warmer Lamp

The Retro Candle Warmer Lamp pairs a coloured glass shade with a solid wood base, so the object earns its place on a side table whether or not a candle is under it. The shade glows amber when lit, and the warm bulb inside melts the candle from above rather than burning the wick.

Warming instead of burning means no smoke, no soot marks up the jar and no tunnelling through the middle of the wax, which is what wastes most of an expensive candle. Scent still throws properly because the wax pool sits open and warm. Velleora Home Decor set the shade height to suit standard jar candles.

Solid timber gives the base enough weight that a knocked shade does not take the whole lamp over. The bulb and head get hot during use: keep the lamp clear of curtains and paper, out of reach of children and pets, switch it off when leaving the room and let it cool fully before moving it.
