Inspired by heraldic tradition and the brand’s own noble lion emblem, this sculptural Wolf Head Candle from British Colour Standard is both a statement object and a beautifully functional piece. Cast in soft Old Rose and hand-poured from 100% vegetable-origin stearin wax, the design nods to medieval coats of arms, where the wolf symbolized loyalty, strength, and guardianship. With its striking silhouette and impressive burn time, it’s as much a piece of art as it is a source of light — gentle in hue, yet quietly commanding on any mantle or table.
