Length: 27 cm Width: 8 cm Height: 27 cm A brief history of the candle holder The candle holder became the essential nomadic tool in the Middle Ages for transporting one's 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 precious commodity that the footmen of royal palaces systematically collected drips in the dish to resell, turning every residue into profit. In the 18th century, it became more refined with the invention of the removable bobeche for easier maintenance, solidifying its role as the indispensable companion of the bedtime ritual long before the advent of electricity.
