Askews Candles

Unique Bottle Shaped Hand Poured Beeswax Candles

Askews Candles are made by the three brothers in the stables of the family home, located in Hurworth just outside of Darlington. The venture started in 2016 when George had the idea to transform his candle making hobby into something that could reach more people. With the help of his two older brothers, Askews Candles was born.

Now Tom, Joe and George all work hard at ensuring these unique pieces are functional as well as pleasing on the eye, while evoking a sense of history. The candles are made from custom moulds from bottles. Always evolving and searching for new and intriguing vintage bottles to use. The designs of the candles are legacies of what has come before them in history. Brewery bottles, poison bottles and other assorted mementos of a time gone by are what make Askews Candles so different.

The Poison Bottle Candles are very popular as gifts. We are not sure if that is slightly menacing or not. Especially if you send them to an ex. Also popular are the iconic Newcastle Brewery Candles.

Using beeswax is a conscious decision from the Askew brothers and the reasons for using this special substance are numerous. The golden glow is like nothing else and the clean burn is perfect for those wanting to stay true to nature. This millennia-old tradition has now been picked up by the Askew brothers and has become a part of the family they hope to hold on to for generations to come.
