1889 Wax Lighting

1889 Wax Lighting is a refined candle atelier rooted in the rugged beauty of Big Sky, Montana, paying homage to the state’s heritage with every detail—from its name, referencing Montana’s 1889 statehood, to its handcrafted approach. Hand-poured in small batches using 100% soy wax and all-natural, phthalate- and paraben-free fragrance oils, each candle blends layered scents that evoke the essence of the West—oceanic earths, forests, and crisp mountain air—with thoughtful names like Trapper or Renegade. Housed in vessels crafted by local artisans—whether blown glass, tin, clay, or porcelain—each candle is a tactile, sculptural object shaped by roughly eight hands before it reaches the client. With up to 40-hour burn times, sleek yet understated design, and a commitment to eco-conscious luxury, 1889 candles fit seamlessly into curated interiors, bringing mood and memory to every space.
