R Stothert and Sons Candle

These beeswax candles certainly are different. Created in small batches and hand poured by Askew Candles in Darlington are made from moulds of original bottles from R. Stothert and Sons. R. Stothert and Sons originally produced pills, tonics, ointments and powders for common medical complaints and were based in Atherton, Greater Manchester. The bearded man on the bottle is R. Stothert himself. These bottle candles evoke a sense of history of bottle making, when the intricate design was almost as important as the lotions and potions they held.

Customer Reviews

  • ★★★★★

    The products I received are of excellent quality but the customer service experience was equally as satisfying, which is increasingly rare these days. My goods were made to order and Dan kept me up to date and informed at each stage of the process, liaising with the manufacturers and couriers. My order arrived on time and Dan ensured it was arranged around a trip away to make sure I was able to receive it. Fantastic service and quality products, I wouldn't hesitate to order from Sir Gordon Bennett again.

Meet the Maker: Askews Candles

Three brothers - Tom, Joe and George Askew - handcraft unique beeswax candles in the stables of their family home in Hurworth, near Darlington. Founded in 2016 when George transformed his candle-making hobby into a family business, Askews Candles creates each piece using custom moulds from antique and vintage British bottles sourced from charity shops, antique dealers and bottle enthusiasts across the country. Using one hundred percent British beeswax with natural wicks, these candles offer exceptional burn times up to one hundred hours, producing a clean, bright golden flame with a subtle honey aroma. The bottle designs - from Victorian poison bottles to Yorkshire brewery bottles - preserve North East heritage and British brewing history in functional form. Beeswax is completely sustainable, and supporting these candles means supporting Britain's vital bee population. Featured in Country Living and Period Living, Askews Candles represent brotherhood, sustainability and the preservation of British industrial heritage.
