More than a means for illumination, candles serve as a symbol of culture, religion, and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light has always been present within the very life of the Iranian -whether in temples, homes, or in poetry and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candles have had a long history in the world as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ancient Egyptian and Roman civilizations, the first instances of candles were made from animal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tallow and primitive wicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

support of the then-government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
