The art of fine dining reflects the careful consideration of tabletop lighting, and the understated elegance of Root Dinner candles will grace any table setting. The Arista is one of our most elegant dinner candles. The Arista beeswax blend burns clean and lasts up to 50% longer than ordinary dinner candles. Fresh, earthy Timberline finish captures the bold spirit of rustic beauty and look as at home in a formal setting as a casual display. Each Timberline is highlighted by an artistic canopy of treelike branches while the candle"s trunk echoes the natural simplicity of smooth bark. Root Candles is an iconic American company that traces its lineage back to 1869 when founder, Amos Ives Root, first opened his doors for business in Medina, Ohio. Since then, 5 generations of Root candle-makers have created the best candles in America. As an innovator and visionary, A. I. Root believed deeply in the American values of honesty, integrity, and plain old hard work; 140 years later, those values remain at the core of The Root Company"s culture. Using all-natural materials for purity and balance, our candles seduce your senses, enhance your living space and soothe your soul. Our candles are manufactured according to all ASTM (safety) standards. We manufacture our own all-natural cotton wicks; we test burn 1,000 candles per day, checking fragrance throw, emissions, soot, flame strength, stability, end of useful life, welling, dripping, and burn time. Stringent color matching is done daily to ensure consistent quality from batch to batch. Root has combined the time honored methods of early 20th century hand crafted candle making, with 21st century automation technologies, to continue a renowned tradition and reputation. Every Root candle is made in the USA.
