Know before you buy
While it is a functional pillar candle, it is primarily designed as a sculptural decorative object. Because it is unscented and features a complex bust shape, most collectors choose to display it as an art piece rather than lighting it.
The candle stands 24 centimeters, or approximately 9.45 inches, in height. Its substantial size makes it an ideal centerpiece for a mantle, bookshelf, or console table.
No, this piece is entirely unscented. It is crafted to serve as a visual tribute to historical French art rather than a home fragrance product.
This candle was created in official collaboration with The Plaster Cast Workshop of the Rmn - Grand Palais. The design is based on historical effigies of Napoleon Bonaparte, ensuring an authentic representation of the Emperor.
Like most high-quality wax products, the black finish is stable, but it should be kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent any potential softening or surface discoloration. Dusting it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth will help maintain its matte appearance.
