Do chandeliers have candles?
1 Answer
No chandeliers do not have candles but the chandelier evolved from the candelabra, which used candles as their light source. Some chandeliers have light fixtures that are designed to look very much like candles while others have moved in a modern direction and look nothing like their candelabra predecessor.
