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 Candlesticks With Lions
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The Lion of Lucerne symbolizes bravery and strength. It also represents that a soldier is willing to die rather than surrender.

    To shine brass candlesticks, first determine whether they’re lacquered or brass-plated. If so, shine them with a soft cloth.

You'll find a variety of solid brass candlesticks from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021

    What a concrete lion symbolizes is largely a matter of personal opinion. Buddhism links lions to peace and prosperity. In Renaissance Italy, they embodied wealth and power. Some people also associate them with royalty. You'll find a range of lion sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if a candlestick is silver, first look for metal purity hallmarks often positioned on the bottom of the piece. Silver purity markings vary from country to country, and you can find reference guides on trusted online resources that can help you determine what the hallmark on your piece represents. Researching the maker can also be beneficial. If you find that the company or artisan only produced silver wares, you can feel reasonably sure that your candlestick is silver. Another option is to place a magnet near the candlestick. Silver isn't magnetic, so a candlestick that sticks to a magnet is either silver-plated or crafted from an entirely different material. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your candlestick to determine its material. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of silver candlesticks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A candlestick and a candelabra are types of candle holders designed to hold tapered candles.

Candlesticks are designed to hold a single candle. Shop a wide collection of candelabras from top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The main difference between candlesticks and candleholders is the number of candles they can hold. A candlestick is a type of candleholder that has a socket or spike to hold one single candle. A candleholder can hold more than one candle. Shop a selection of candlesticks and candleholders on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To refurbish brass candlesticks, start by removing any wax. Then, combine one tablespoon of salt with a half cup of white vinegar and mix in white flour to create a paste. Use a soft cloth to cover the entire candlestick with the substance. Let it rest for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and drying with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage brass candlesticks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To fix a wobbly candlestick, try wrapping the bottom of the candle with plastic wrap before you insert it into the holder. You can also remove the taper, drip a little wax into the candlestick’s opening and then press the candle down until it sticks. On 1stDibs, find a variety of candlesticks.
