Art Illuminated – Love Among the Ruins Candle Set

A set of six dinner candles inspired by the deep, romantic tones of Burne-Jones’ painting Love Among the Ruins. Soft rose, ivory, moss green, and shades of blue echo the colours of the lovers' embrace amidst the crumbling ruins.

These candles are made with care in Germany and presented in an exclusive gift box designed by us at Plaristo — a quiet tribute to love’s enduring light.

Burne-Jones’ Love Among the Ruins tells a timeless story of love persisting through loss and change. Painted in the poetic, dreamlike style of the Pre-Raphaelites, it reminds us that beauty and tenderness can flourish even in broken places. This candle set is inspired by that message — an invitation to light a candle and celebrate love’s quiet strength.
