Established in Dublin in 1488, Rathbornes holds the distinction of being the world’s oldest candle company. With a heritage spanning over five centuries, we are deeply committed to crafting luxurious experiences through our diverse product range. Our offerings include not only Scented Candles and Home Fragrances, but also Bath & Body Works and Cashmere and Merino Wool Throws locally woven with utmost care. Our products continue to be handcrafted in Ireland, employing many of the skilled methods that have been part of our tradition since the 15th Century.

Why work with us

1) We strive to make every candle of the highest possible quality. Based in Dublin since 1488, our candles are still hand-poured there today. We are

committed to Irish manufacturing, and continuing our status as Ireland’s oldest

company

2) At our core, sustainably sourced high-quality ingredients including 100% natural wax and being part of the All Ireland Pollinator Plan allows us to help create an Ireland where bees can survive and thrive.

3) We strive to make every candle to the highest possible quality. This means focusing on every detail to make candles that look, burn and smell truly wonderful. It took us eighteen months for our blenders to create our fragrances and hundreds of hours have been devoted to blending, pouring and testing, and for each size of candle the best balance of wax and fragrance distribution combined with the optimum thickness of different

wicks have been selected to ensure a superior-quality burn.
