A Timeless Tradition: The History of Tallow Candles
Tallow candles have been an integral part of human history for millennia, tracing their origins back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. Rendered from animal fats, primarily from cattle and sheep, tallow provided a readily available and economical source of fuel for lighting.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, tallow candles became ubiquitous throughout Europe, serving as the primary source of illumination for households, churches, and public spaces. Skilled chandlers meticulously crafted tallow candles by hand, pouring molten fat into molds and carefully wicking them to produce candles of varying sizes and shapes.
The widespread use of tallow candles continued into the early modern period, with their popularity peaking during the 18th and 19th centuries. Tallow candles lit the way during pivotal moments in history, from the drafting of important documents to the gatherings of luminaries in salons and parlors.
