Wick for kerosene lamp 6″

10”’ Cotton round burner wick with good absorbency.

Standard dimensions for kerosene lamps were established in the mid-19th century and were based on the size of the kerosene burner. Measurements are given in lines and line measurements are counted in 1/12 inch. Thus, 1 line equals 1/12″ (inch). The line number is determined in proportion to the brightness of the lamp and the higher the line number the higher the luminous intensity.

This wick fits our large traditional kerosene lamp, article number 3041-42. You can find it under Related Products.

Making candles is an ancient craft. STHLM’s candle workshop on Södermalm, in Per-Anders Fogelström’s neighborhood and where Liljeholmens Ljusfabrik once stood, carries on the tradition.

Great care is taken to ensure that the candles feel genuine. When the candle mass is warm, the antique candles are carefully molded and shaped by hand.

The long burning time and beautiful flame are the result of the right mix of stearin, paraffin, wax and wick yarn.
