What is the difference between a candlestick and a candelabra?
1 Answer
A candlestick and a candelabra are types of candle holders designed to hold tapered candles. A candelabra, or candelabrum, if the holder can hold more than one candle can be varied in design, but was created to hold candles aloft, giving them stately height. Candlesticks are designed to hold a single candle. Shop a wide collection of candelabras from top sellers on 1stDibs.
