A brief history of the candlestick
The candlestick became an essential nomadic tool in the Middle Ages for carrying a flame without burning oneself. Under Louis XIV, it became a radical class marker: the nobility burned refined beeswax, while commoners endured the fetid smell of tallow candles. Wax was such a precious commodity that valets in royal palaces systematically collected drips in the cup to resell them, turning every residue into profit. In the 18th century, it gained in sophistication with the invention of the removable bobeche for easier maintenance, establishing itself as the indispensable companion for the bedtime ritual long before the advent of electricity.
