Height: 16 cm Diameter: 8 cm A brief history of the candlestick The candlestick emerged in the Middle Ages as the essential portable tool for carrying one's flame without burning oneself. Under Louis XIV, it became a radical class marker: the nobility burned refined beeswax, while the common people endured the foul odor of tallow candles. Wax was such a precious commodity that the attendants of royal palaces systematically collected the drippings in the saucer to resell them, turning every residue into profit. In the 18th century, it gained refinement with the invention of the removable bobeche for easy maintenance, asserting itself as the indispensable companion of the bedtime ritual long before the arrival of electricity.
