Bernardaud's LED votivelight brings the luminous beauty of Paris along the Seine into your home. With rechargeable battery and two light settings, it offers flickering or steady glow. Crafted from fine porcelain in Limoges, France, this lithophane reveals intricate scenes when lit.
The etymology of the word 'lithophane' derives from the Greek word (lithos), which translates to 'stone', and (phainein), which means 'to appear'. Thus, through the engraved fine bisque porcelain of the Bernardaud Votivelights appear intricate images in stone - here, the scene enshrined is Paris along the Seine. The light is traditionally cast by a small candle, but the French brand brings a contemporary twist with the inclusion of an LED light.
If you desire the flickering comfort of a candle, there's still a setting to suit your aesthetic.
