Founded in 1488, Rathbornes Candles was established long before electricity was invented. Founded by John G. Rathborne, the company held the contract for all the street lighting fittings in Dublin during the 19th century. Despite there no longer being a need for candles to light the streets, Rathbornes Candles’ success today comes from sales of candles for the home. As the world’s oldest candle company, it is still based in Dublin.
