The Royaumont candelabra was created by Christofle in 1959. Its name evokes the famous Cistercian abbey built a few kilometers north of Paris during the reign of Saint Louis. The gadrooned moldings adorning the base of this candelabra are an ornamental motif from the classical repertoire of goldsmithing. The central loop formed by the candle arms, meanwhile, lends this piece its unique character.
