The History:

Founded in Dublin in 1488, Rathbornes is the world's oldest candle company. Across 500 years Rathbornes candles have illuminated the streets, homes, lighthouse and churches of Ireland. The candles which they produce today are still hand-crafted with many of the same skilled methods which they have used since the fifteenth century. At Ann Marie's we find the scents totally soothing and amazing. They are not harsh at all and scent our store with beauty.

ORIGINS

John G Rathborne established his candle company on Wynetavern Street, Dublin in 1488 after moving over from Chester, England to seek his fortune with an innovative new business. All of life's rituals were done by the soft glow of candlelight, and Rathborne's candles quickly became woven into the social fabric of the city. From the 1630s Rathbornes supplied Dublin with candlelight for its streets and lighthouses, creating a safer city for its residents and visiting merchants. Candles provided hope and safety from the storms which threatened sailors on the Dublin coastline.

INNOVATION AND TRADITION

Rathbornes have been refining their candles throughout their history, and taking the best from centuries of experience. This included developing new formulations of wax, moving from animal tallow to develop a special blend of beeswax and stearin during the industrial revolution. This technical innovation gave a cleaner, slower-burning candle for everyone to enjoy, and they remained loyal to our traditional methods of craftsmanship, still hand-pouring the candles today.

THE BEYOND THE PALE COLLECTION Still based in Dublin, the Beyond the Pale collection celebrates the Rathborne status as the world's oldest candle company and marks the culmination of centuries of innovation.
