The House

A house in Chester County.

The pantry, the table, and the back hall.

Heavy linen. Yellow wax. Unwashed plates.  

 

The Table

The table is an aftermath, not a stage. A good meal is chaotic. Tapers are lit on a whim. If you're saving these candles for a " special guest" instead of Tuesday night, you're missing the point. There will be red wine rings on the linen, bread crumbs on the boards, and grease on the plates.  Scented candles are burned right through the meal - used before, during, and long after the plates are cleared. We cook with too much butter and stay late passing the bottle.

Nothing performs. The grease and breadcrumbs are simple left out. 

 

The Glut 

We believe in the heavy glut. The kitchen should be cluttered with real ingredients - the bruised berries, wrinkled figs. We model our wax after what the season allows for the skillet or the mouth. 

Some wax is burned. Some shapes are left in the fruit bowl. Both are correct. 

 

The Back Hall

The Materials 

Beeswax sourced from local Chester County hives, blended with coconut wax where needed for scent throw and burn stability.

Cotton wick. Fragrance selected without CMR ingredients or phthalates. The hound stays under the table. The kitchen has small lungs and four legs walking the floorboards.

Uneven surfaces left visible.

The Scented Table 

Meal - paired fragrance for people who love to eat. They are unapologetically culinary, built to cut through roast fat or bitter citrus. 

Henhouse for poultry.

Jetty for cold plates and fish.

Haunch for red meat.

Curing Room for pork and fruit used correctly. 

 

House Rules 

Light the candle first.

Overhead lighting ruins the flavor.

Let the pantry change with the season.

Not everything needs explaining.

Leave the dirty plates out overnight. 

A little light keeps the house calm.
