Cereria Graziani – Two Centuries of Craftsmanship and Sustainable Candle Making
For over 200 years, Cereria Graziani has been crafting high-quality wax candles in Tuscany, blending artisanal expertise with innovation. This family legacy, passed down through seven generations, preserves the secrets of traditional candle-making while embracing sustainable practices that respect the environment and enhance product quality.
Founded in 1805 by Abramo Graziani under a grand ducal decree, Cereria Graziani began transforming imported wax into elegant candles in Livorno. Today, from its workshop in Lorenzana, the company continues to refine its methods, combining cutting-edge technology with age-old techniques to produce luxurious, long-lasting candles that reflect respect for nature and craftsmanship.
Sustainability is a guiding principle at Cereria Graziani. The company carefully selects natural and biodegradable waxes, prioritizes local suppliers, and adopts energy-efficient production processes to reduce environmental impact. By embracing renewable energy sources and minimizing waste, Graziani ensures that each candle not only adds warmth to a space but also reflects a conscious choice for a greener future.
Every Graziani candle is a celebration of Italian design and ethical production, merging tradition with innovation to create pieces that illuminate homes and lives for years to come.
