For thousands of years, candles have been used for a variety of purposes. Candles were first created as an utilitarian source of light and now are more often treated like decorative pieces that serve many different functions. Although little is known about their origin ̶ it's widely believed the ancient Egyptians developed them with rush lights made from soaking pithy cores in animal fat - modern day candles offer no shortage on creativity or design to fit any occasion!
Candles have been around since ancient times, but candlemaking in the 19th century was a revolution. It began with paraffin wax being introduced to candles after chemists learned how to efficiently separate it from petroleum and refine it. The invention of electricity caused many people no longer found need for candles as they could just flip on their light switch instead; this decline continued into the 20s when electric lighting had become popularized nationwide thanks largely due to Thomas Edison's introduction of an affordable bulb that didn't require any expensive wiring or installation process earlier in 1879.
Candles have been used for centuries as a source of light, but they are now becoming more popular in interior decoration. Candles can be found at many stores and people often use them to set the mood or create an atmosphere with their flickering flames - candles instantly change any space by adding a touch of warmth through soft lighting without harsh electric lights.
