Width: 17 cm Depth: 10 cm Height: 46 cm A little history of the candlestick The candlestick established itself in the Middle Ages as the essential portable tool for transporting flames 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 in royal palaces systematically collected drips in the dish to sell them, turning every residue into profit. In the 18th century, it became more refined with the invention of the removable bobeche for easier maintenance, establishing itself as the indispensable companion of the bedtime ritual long before the arrival of electricity.
