Floor Standing Candle Holder
A replica of a popular style of gothic candle holder, this one
stands around 4 feet high (not including candle). Floor models like this one will add a gothic
touch to any room or belfry.
Candelabra
This style of hanging candelabra was popular in Medieval times
and could be raised and lowered with a rope or chain attached to a pulley. With
3 1/2 inch drip pans and a standard candle socket, this 3 candle candelabra will hold
dinner candles for hours without spilling the wax.
Courting Candle Holder
In colonial times, a young man could
visit with his young lady as long as the courting candle burned. The candle
height could be adjusted by a small wooden plug that could be turned up or
down the spring. The father of the lady
in question could turn the candle higher if he liked the young man (or lower if he
didn't!).
