here, this is how it can burn so long:
There is a spindle in the center, and a very long candle coiled around it. Attached to the top of the spindle is a holder, which grasps the candle and can rotate around the spindle. It looks like it probably also pinches the candle, making it so if you forget about it, it will go out rather than burning down to the rest of the candle.
When the candle burns down, you can feed more into it by rotating the holder. This lets you choose the length of the candle. This was used as a type of timer, by knowing how long a certain length of candle takes to burn.
I think these were used as what's called a "courtship candle", where a father, allowing his daughter to go out on a date, would say you are allowed to see my daughter for one hour, or whatever, so he'd light a candle of a specific length to know when it's time to leave.
