Trudon's Iconic Bust Candles: A Tribute to French Heritage and Craftsmanship

In collaboration with the Réunion des Musées Nationaux - Grand Palais, Trudon has transformed some of France's most celebrated historical figures into remarkable sculptural candles. Drawing upon molds preserved in the archives of the French National Museum Council, each bust is a faithful reproduction of an original work, rendered in richly pigmented wax and produced entirely by hand.

The collection reflects Trudon's unique position within French history. Founded in 1643, the house supplied churches, royal residences, and ultimately the court of Louis XIV, earning the title Manufacture Royale de Cire . Today, that heritage continues through objects that exist at the intersection of decorative art, sculpture, and craftsmanship.
