@thepastrevived: A lovely country box. It’s actually in a very dark green paint, but I don’t think you can tell with the lighting #antique #historytok #antiquefinds #vintage #whimsical
I wonder what tallow candles smell like when they burn. I imagine they must be pretty distinctive?

Wouldn’t mice eat the tallow candles in an open box?

My Grandma was born in 1923 and grew up in an old Georgian house here in the UK 🇬🇧. Electricity didn’t come in full to her home until the 1950s. She told me they regularly used tallow candles and during the war they ate tallow melted on bread when desperate due to rationing. Tallow was made largely of animal fat from sheep and I was told it tasted nice.

I'm really happy to have heat pumped into my home for no effort on my part, but sometimes I do yearn for the whimsy of a fireplace warmed house😅

my Dad used to create colonial furniture like the candle box. He was self taught, had amazing skills. Thank you for sharing this, Dad's gone home now, he and Mom together again. Thank you for this happy memory.

In my house those candles would melt next to the fire. 😳 Stoves are too efficient now and the candles go limp.
