About Werther & Gray

Werther & Gray is a very small artisan candle company located in Claymont, Delaware.

The name combines two literary characters that bookend the Romantic era – from Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890).

The sense of smell is so often associated with memory, and each one of our candles is meant to evoke a memory, even if just from your own imagination. There are many valuable ways to interact with the past. Werther & Gray's audience is a varied group of history buffs, romantics, aesthetes, dreamers, artists and old souls. Which one are you?
