About Us

Scotland’s Oldest Candle Company. Still Burning Bright.
Since 1897, Shearer Candles has been crafting beautiful, long-lasting candles from our factory in the UK, where heritage and innovation go hand in hand.
Family-founded and proudly independent, we’ve spent over a century perfecting our craft. From traditional church candles to contemporary home fragrances, every candle we make is rooted in quality, care, and craftsmanship. We’re passionate about the details - from the precision of our pour to the balance of our signature scents. We don’t cut corners. We don’t follow trends. We do what we’ve always done: make exceptional candles that people return to, time and again - candles that brighten homes, lift moods, and become part of daily rituals.
Our practice combines time-honoured techniques passed down through generations of skilled makers, with modern design, and always with a focus on sustainability. Our waxes are thoughtfully selected, our materials responsibly sourced, and our commitment to craftsmanship remains as strong today as it was in 1897.
Whether you’ve known us for years or are discovering Shearer for the first time - welcome. We’re proud to bring a little warmth, comfort and light to the everyday.
From our factory to homes around the world - thank you for choosing Shearer Candles.
