Manufacture des cires Antony, Royal wax manufactory in Antony, France
The manufacturing complex at 14 Avenue du Bois-de-Verrières features workshops, a master's house, and a chapel with a bas-relief of a beehive on its wall.
Founded in 1702 by Brice Péan de Saint-Gilles, the establishment received royal privileges in 1719 and became one of the largest wax producers in France.
The factory supplied wax and candles to the royal household, state institutions, and Parisian high society, producing five hundred tons of products annually by 1740.
The site, now occupied by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Cluny since 1890, stands at coordinates 48.7549 latitude and 2.2944 longitude in Hauts-de-Seine.
A decorative clock called 'la Trudonne', gifted by Madame Trudon to the workers, remains a distinctive feature of this historical manufacturing complex.
