PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This candle takes its distinctive shape from a forcolà, the oar lock of a Venetian gondola. Fórcole are unlike any other type of rowlock because of the unique forward-facing position of the oarsman, who propels and maneuvers the boat with a single oar. Made of paraffin wax. Burn time 6 hours.
