Finding the Right Candle-holders for You

For centuries, candles have been used in religious ceremonies such as Hanukkah, provided light to work or read by and more. During meals, the soft glimmer of candles adds warmth to a dinner table that no lighting solution could possibly imitate. With the right antique or vintage candleholder, candles can elevate a table setting or just help support your efforts to create a romantic atmosphere in any room.

When you combine the distinctive glow of a candle with a candleholder that matches the color scheme and decor you’ve painstakingly put together, the result can feel like magic. Finding the candleholder that best meets your needs can be daunting because you’re essentially bringing a piece into your home that is as important as the candle itself. Unsurprisingly, venturesome designers over the years have crafted innumerable alternatives to the traditional form of candleholders, and today a broad array of these decorative objects can be found on 1stDibs, whether they’re 19th-century candleholders made of silver or sleek mid-century modern glass candleholders for an understated accent to your dining area.

Try a tabletop orb candleholder from Lynne Meade Ceramics for a distinctive interpretation of this long-loved furnishing. An alluring pair of Georg Jensen stainless-steel candleholders, featuring pronounced organic curves, or Art Nouveau–informed natural-world motifs, on the other hand, can bring a dose of sculptural elegance to your living room.

If you’re more inclined to opt for antique or vintage pieces, find a collection that includes everything from simple wood taper candleholders to elaborate candelabras of gilt bronze or cut glass on 1stDibs now.

Questions About Barley Twist Candlesticks
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023

    You can use a variety of items instead of a candlestick holder. Place a candle on a stone or marble coaster or rest it on a plate. You can also put candles in vases, bowls and jars. However, double-check that whatever you choose to substitute for a candle holder is flame- and heat-resistant. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of candle holders.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To fix a wobbly candlestick, try wrapping the bottom of the candle with plastic wrap before you insert it into the holder. You can also remove the taper, drip a little wax into the candlestick’s opening and then press the candle down until it sticks. On 1stDibs, find a variety of candlesticks.
