"Cire Trudon, which began asa small grocery shop in 1643, grew enough in stature by 1725 to sellcandles to the court of Louis XV by 1725, and has continued to shed light in Paristhrough the Revolution, Napoleon’s reign, the jazz age, and right up until today.The smoky green glass votives with large gold seals still have adecidedly royal look. Asense of mischievous fun infuses the wax candle-busts of 18th-century luminaries includingBenjamin Franklin, Marie Antoinette, and the emperor Napoleon himself."
