Height: 23 cm Diameter: 9 cm A Brief History of the Candlestick The candlestick emerged in the Middle Ages as the essential portable tool to carry your flame without burning yourself. Under Louis XIV, it became a radical class marker: the nobility burned refined beeswax, while the common people endured the foul smell of tallow candles. Wax was such a precious commodity that servants in royal palaces systematically collected the drippings in the saucer to sell them, turning every residue into profit. In the 18th century, it gained finesse with the invention of the removable bobeche for easier maintenance, asserting itself as the indispensable companion of the bedtime ritual long before the arrival of electricity.
