Chandler [noun] “maker or seller of candles, wax & soap” attested as a surname from late 13c. (also, from early 14c. “candle-holder;” see chandelier), from O.Fr. chandelier (2) “candle-maker, candle-seller; person in charge of lighting a household, monastery, etc.,” from L. candelarius, from candela “candle” (see candle). Native candleman is attested from mid-13c.

Ron Pavlovich is a master Chandler; he is one of two in Canada. There are also two in the U.S., others in Europe, Japan and Australia. As of November 2008 there were only seven worldwide!

He is very particular about his craft and has been hand making quality candles for White Flame since 1990 and continually comes up with new and beautiful designs; including our trademarked Party Bowl Candles. During the Christmas season, Ron (with a little assistance) produces over 10,000 candles every two weeks!
