MARIE ANTOINETTE IN A NEW LIGH
History can be fragile… and yet enduring. The same holds true for this bust of Marie Antoinette of Austria, attributed to one of the Brachard brothers and preserved as an idealised vision of one of the most fascinating and controversial women in French history. With her head gently turned, her shoulders delicately draped, and her crown adorned with fleur-de-lis and a string of pearls, this candle evokes the entire imagination of the Rococo era — something you can experience in the present whenever your thoughts turn to the past.
