Louis XIV Bust - Navy Blue
SKU: 42814
Absolute authority: chin up, proud bust and a contemptuous attitude, the Sun King rules. Immortalized in a 7-meter high monumental sculpture by Francois Girardon (1699), the 'Louis XIV a cheval' took center stage Place Vendome before the statue was raised to the ground, in 1792, during the French revolution. Today a resident of the Musee du Louvre, the bust still stands tall, reproduced in a smaller scale.
Measures approx. 13 3/4" Tall
An iconic royal figure and messenger of “l’art a la francaise”, Louis XIV now looks over Cire Trudon’s collection of busts.
Wax is essentially made with soya and copra. The candle wicks are made from pure cotton. The candles do not contain any substances on the Greenpeace OSPAR list. No heavy metals or pesticides are involved in their manufacturing and they are entirely biodegradable.

Founded in 1643, on the threshold of the reign of Louis XIV, Cire Trudon is the oldest Candlemaker in the world still active today.
Throughout the 17th century, the manufacturer became the Royal Wax Manufacturer and official supplier in the French court, then to Napoléon Bonaparte. Cire Trudon received a Gold Medal during the 1889 Universal Exhibit as a reward for the outstanding quality of its candles and wax.
Trudon enlists well-known “noses” to create perfumes for the stories it wishes to tell. Each candle is still dripped and made by hand in its factory in Normandy, perpetuating a luxury manufacturing which helps perpetuates the skills of its founder, Claude Trudon.
