Length: 12 cm Width: 12 cm Height: 21 cm A little history of the candlestick The candlestick emerged in the Middle Ages as the essential portable tool for carrying a flame without burning oneself. Under Louis XIV, it became a radical marker of class: the nobility burned refined beeswax, while the common people endured the foul smell of tallow candles. Wax was such a valuable commodity that the servants of the royal palaces systematically collected the drippings in the dish to resell them, turning every residue into profit. In the 18th century, it gained refinement with the invention of the removable bobeche to facilitate maintenance, establishing itself as the indispensable companion of the bedtime ritual long before the arrival of electricity.
