More than a means for illumination, candles serve as a symbol of culture, religion, and art.
In Iran, the tradition of light and fire dates back millennia, from the sacred fire in Zoroastrianism to the candlelight used during nights of prayer, mourning, and ritual feasts.
Light has always been present within the very life of the Iranian -whether in temples, homes, or in poetry and literature.
Candles have had a long history in the world as well.
In ancient Egyptian and Roman civilizations, the first instances of candles were made from animal
tallow and primitive wicks.
However, the turning point for the candle-making industry in Iran dates back to the Qajar era, when Monsieur Fuketi, an Italian candle maker, founded the first official candle-making factory with the
support of the then-government.
Benefiting from European technology and methods, the factory transformed candles from a traditional product into an industrial and cultural commodity that bridged the light of the West with the cultural richness of the East.
Today, continuing along that same path, we use artistic design, exquisite raw materials, and a cultural approach to create candles that go beyond mere function to carry meaning, beauty, and sensation. Each candle is a reflection of history, and every flame reminds of a light that has not gone dim for centuries.
