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 Tapered Candle Holders
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How tall a candle holder should be depends on the size of the candle you’re using and the overall look of the room. Compared to a candle, a holder should be at least as tall. When choosing candle holders, choose ones that won’t obscure the view. For example, lower candlesticks and candelabras work best on dining tables because they allow you to see the person across from you. On 1stDibs, find a range of candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Hurricane candle holders are glass cylindrical domes which go around a candle to protect the flame from getting doused. These candle holders can also be attached to the wall as a hurricane shade.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023The difference between a candlestick and a candle holder is specificity. A candlestick is a tall turned decorative object typically used to display taper candles. Any object made specifically to hold candles is a candle holder. Candlesticks are candle holders, but there are other kinds, including tall shades called hurricanes and small cylindrical containers called votive cups. Shop an assortment of candle holders on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What glass candle holders are called depends on their design. Curvy clear glass shades used to cover pillar candles are hurricanes, while smaller glass holders with closed bottoms are votive or tealight cups. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique and vintage glass candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022One of the most common candle holders in use during Medieval times was the simple candlestick. Today, antique candlesticks are sought after by art collectors and interior designers alike for their stylish versatility. On 1stDibs, shop a wide collection of antique and contemporary candlesticks from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Some of the most common types of candle holders include candlesticks, candelabras, hurricanes and votive cups. A candlestick is a column-like holder for tapers, while a candelabra is a multi-armed taper holder with a single candlestick-like body. Hurricanes are tall round shades designed for pillar candles, and a votive cup is a small cylindrical holder for a votive candle or tealight. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What vintage candle holders are called depends on their design. Narrow tall ones designed for tapers are candlesticks, while multi-armed taper holders are candelabra. Small holders are votive or tealight holders or cups depending on their dimensions. Find a selection of vintage candle holders on 1stDibs.
- Do pillar candles need a holder?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Because pillar candle holders burn into themselves, they do not need a candle holder. But it makes sense to have a pillar plate at least to prevent wax residue from ending up on your furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023What tall candle holders are called varies. Holders intended for pillar candles are hurricanes and are often made of glass. Tall wood or metal candle holders for one taper are candlesticks, while ones with multiple arms that accommodate more than one taper are candelabras. On 1stDibs, find a collection of candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023What the candle holders in churches are called depends on the design. Column-like holders for single tapers are candlesticks, while multi-branched holders for tapers are candelabras. Small candle holders used for memorial candles are votive holders. Find a collection of candle holders on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023You can use a variety of materials instead of a candle holder to serve the purpose of an actual candle holder. Put pillar and votive candles on decorative plates or trays, or rest them on a decorative tile, coaster or wood slice. You can drop votives and tealights in shallow bowls, clay pots, wine glasses and other vessels. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of decorative accents.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A wall-mounted candle holder is called a candle sconce or a wall sconce. Sconces come in a variety of colors and shapes, sure to suit any decor style. You’ll find a wide range of candle sconces in a variety of decor styles on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023To tell if a candle holder is solid antique brass, you can try placing a magnet on it. Brass is not magnetic, so if there is any attraction, the piece is unlikely to be solid brass. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of candle holders.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A candle holder with multiple arms is called a candelabra or candelabrum. A candelabra or candelabrum is highly regarded as a decorative object and the classic, dramatic form of this type of candle holder is still an inspiration for lighting designers today. Shop a collection of antique and vintage candelabras from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023What an old-fashioned candle holder is called depends on its design. A tall holder meant for a single taper candle is a candlestick, while taper holders with arms that branch off a central column are candelabras. Shop a range of candle holders on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if a silver candle holder is real, find out if a magnet is attracted to it. Solid sterling silver and fine silver aren't magnetic. However, some silver plate candle holders may be. Silver plate is the term for items made of base metal and then finished with a layer of genuine silver. If the magnet sticks to your candle holders, they may be silver plate or constructed out of a different material. If you'd like an expert's assistance with the identification process, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a variety of candle holders on 1stDibs.
