The luminaries come in many different colors, shapes and designs and are all handcrafted. They are made of paraffin wax and produce a beautiful glow by placing any tealight candle inside of them. Therefore, THEY NEVER MELT!! You only replace the tealight. The flame of the tealight is not hot enough to burn the wax, that's why paraffin wax is used since it is heat resistant and has a good translucency. You will be amazed how these precious work of art will add to your home decor. Some designs are made of brass, and some others are made of Thuya wood. This wood comes from the Thuya tree that is only found in Morocco. Our luminaries speak for themselves. Their beauty and elegance will add an original, yet a comtemporary touch to your home decor.
