Imperial Candle
A decadent pillar of black bees wax embedded with an opulent gold wax cameo, Le Cierge Imperial candle was originally created in limited edition to commemorate the christening of Napolean’s son. Created by the legendary candle purveyor, Cire Trudon, this unscented candle would make a dramatic centerpiece for a dinner setting or a romantic decoration on a marble bedside table.
Cire Trudon, who has been producing candles since 1643, is one of the oldest wax artisans in France and has worked with esteemed fashion houses including Hermes, Guerlain and Dior.
The candles including the exquisitely scented Bougies Parfumees and the original Bustes de Cire (wax busts of Napolean and Marie Antoinette) are available at specialty stores around the world. Find them at some of our favorites shops such as Aedes de Venustas, John Derian and Barney’s.
