Sculptural and graphic, this beige stoneware candlestick creates a contemporary silhouette that naturally draws the eye. Its three branches give it a beautiful verticality, making it an ideal piece to rhythm a dining table, a console, or a shelf. The stoneware provides a sober, tactile material that pairs easily with linen, light wood, or vintage objects with simple lines. With its measured yet assertive presence, it finds its place in both a living room and on a mantelpiece. Arrange it with slim candles and a few art books to create a softly decorative corner. Length: 10 cm Width: 28 cm Height: 32 cm A brief history of the candlestick The candlestick became an essential nomadic tool in the Middle Ages for transporting one’s flame without getting burned. Under Louis XIV, it became a radical class marker: the nobility burned refined beeswax, while the common people suffered the foul smell of tallow candles. Wax was such a precious commodity that palace servants systematically collected the drippings in the cup 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.
