Our Bougies Gommers shop

In 1863, Corneille Gommers, beekeeper and chandler, gets on his bicycle to deliver the 40 kilos of church candles he carries on his back. He would pass on his passion and his craft to the generations that followed, together with his uncompromising standards for the quality of every component of his candles.

The workshop, resolutely artisanal, has weathered every era and every fashion thanks to this unwavering commitment to selecting raw materials of the very highest quality. Waxes, wicks, pigments, lacquers and fragrance essences come together in new shapes and finishes, in a constant spirit of evolution and renewal.

You will welcome our candles into your home every day, for occasions big and small, indoors and outdoors, on royal tables, at sumptuous events or at intimate dinners with friends. That invitation is exactly why we want them to be perfect in every circumstance.

The fourth generation left the Grand-Place area of Brussels, its home for more than sixty years, to set up its shop and workshop in Uccle. Still artisanal and on a human scale, even if today our candles travel, in great numbers, to every corner of the world.
