What are candelabra?
Candelabra are a pair of candlesticks with multiple arms. The word “candelabrum” is a Latin term which means “candle tree”. This is because of the many branches or arms of the candelabrum sprouting from a single column, similar to a tree and it’s branches.
French candelabra developed from the candlestick for those places where more than one candle is required to provide enough light. But because of their impressive size and often elaborate design, they soon became very decorative and desirable items of decorative arts. They could impress the guests to a dinner party and show one’s good taste and wealth. Especially during the 19th century they became very popular.
