“To keep a lamp burning, we have to put oil on it.” – Mother Teresa of Calcutta
A candlelit dinner adds a touch of romantic elegance to a meal, soft light infusing warmth and peace after a difficult day.
Some inherent difficulties that go into candlelight are the accompanying wax residue that can lead to cleaning problems for bedding, tables, and glass.
A tradition reborn
In times past, Mediterranean homes were lit by oil lamps. There was no standard look and a variety of materials were used to make the lamps. At that time, olive oil was the most widely used fuel.
This ancient tradition is brought back in the 21st century when artisans create hand-blown glass lamps and unique oil candles that are fully functional using lamp oil found at almost any art and craft supplier.
Designs
Oil lamps are as unique as your imagination. They come in multiple geometric shapes and sizes and can feature decorative glass in glass features that add depth and texture to your chandelier that is visually appealing and noticeably different from common candle accents.
Designed for long-term use
Unlike candles that need to be replaced, oil lamps use pure liquid paraffin lamp oil with an extraordinary fiberglass wick that can last a lifetime. This combination allows oil candles and oil lamps to be used for hours before the oil needs to be refilled.
What could be warmer?
An oil lamp set can be offered as a housewarming gift that provides a symbol of the warmth you hope your new neighbor will feel in their new home. The elegance is sure to catch the eye of visitors and your generosity will be remembered and highly appreciated.
A blessed occasion
When a family member or friend gets married, an oil lamp or oil candle can be the perfect gift to add warmth and elegance to your shared home. Even with gift records, couples often find duplicate items received. Why not make sure they find something truly unique and attractive when they open their gift?
A personal gift
The gift of oil-based candles can also be a very personal gift. Buy it for your partner or for yourself. The elegant warmth of candlelight can be an anniversary gift or a “just because” gift. The distinctive designs will have you staring at the flicker if it glows as they transport you to a long-forgotten place or a place you’d like to be.
Serenity and a sense of relaxed rhythm have always been the hallmarks of flickering candles and an oil lamp or oil candle can provide a sense of peace in a cleaner and safer way than traditional candles.
The quality
A matching grape cruet and oil lamp set is a European treasure, handcrafted in the Czech Republic from SIMAX® borosilicate glass of excellent quality. Because the glass is hand-blown, you have the assurance of a unique oil lamp or oil candle.
Determination of odor
The personally chosen scent can be added to the lamp oil providing a unique aromatherapy for any occasion.
There are so many benefits and so many elegant reasons to purchase an oil lamp or oil candle for any gifting need.
