Candles have been an essential part of human life for centuries, used for both practical and decorative purposes. Candle holders are an elegant way to display candles and enhance their beauty. They come in a wide range of styles, designs, and materials, making them suitable for any occasion and decoration. In the ancient times, a candle stand used to be a cup or spike to hold the candle upright and catch the melting dripping wax, so as to protect the surface beneath. Candlesticks which still feature this spike are known as Pricket Candle sticks. They have stood the test of time and can still be found today. Gradually, candlesticks developed from purely utility products to decorative and art ware.

 

A Candle Stand is a device used to hold a candle in place. It has a cup, a spike or both to keep the candle in place. They are also known as Candle Holders which are used to hold a single candle or multiple lit candles. In the ancient times before the invention of electricity, candles were carried between rooms using a chamber stick, a short candlestick with a pan to catch the dripping wax. Although electric lighting has minimized the use of candles and candle stands to a larger extent but they are still used around the world for the special effect they create which an electric bulb can not. They work as a decorative object and also create the special atmosphere on different special occasions.
