Hand-Painted Tall Taper Candles – Zahabu Design (Set of 3)

Capture the golden light of an African sunset — right on your table. Zahabu means "the golden one" in Swahili, inspired by the sun that rules the rhythm of life across Africa — a blazing yellow disk at noon, a glowing red fireball as it grazes the horizon at dusk. These 9-inch dinner tapers bring that same warmth and drama to any setting.

Each candle is hand-poured and individually painted by South African artisans at NOBUNTO, a fair-trade company dedicated to empowering women in their community. The background color is laid first, then skilled artists add the intricate Zahabu motifs with swift, confident brushstrokes. No two candles are identical — each set is its own original.

Set the table. Light the candles. Tell the story.
