The Bird Cage Theater Candle

Top: Red Clay, Palo Santo, Arabian Rose

Middle: Cassis Nectar, Pomegranate, Camphor

Base: Terra-cotta Amber, Musk

From 1881 to 1889, during the peak of the silver boom, The Bird Cage Theatre catered to the hard-drinking, quick-tempered miners and cowboys of the town. It quickly gained a reputation as one of the wildest places in the country, with gunfights and killings a regular occurrence.

The theater was named for its fourteen "bird cage" crib-style boxes that hung from the ceiling, where prostitutes entertained their clients. During its heyday, it was reported that the Bird Cage never closed, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, leading to an estimated 26 deaths in and around the establishment.

Following its closure in 1889, The Bird Cage Theatre reopened in the late 1920s as a tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the Wild West's untamed past. Yet, the spectral echoes of its turbulent history seem to linger.

All candles are made with 100% domestically-grown soy wax, fragrance oils, and organic cotton-core wicks. The fragrances we use are paraben-free, phthalate-free, and are never tested on animals.

Following Candle Care helps to ensure product quality + longevity. We highly recommend following each of the following steps:

Trim your candle's wick to 1/4" before each lighting or once your candle has cooled.

Never attempt to trim a burning candle.

Discard the snipped portion in the trash; never leave wick trimmings in your candle jar.

The wick should always remain centered and away from the sides of the vessel.

Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.

Safety first - because candles contain a small flame, we encourage following these rules:

Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.

Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.

Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.

Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.
