Candelabrum

Candelabrum, a term properly meaning a candlestick, but used for a lamp-stand. Few articles were more beautifully wrought than the finer forms of ancient Roman candelabra. Often from 3 to 10 feet high, they were of great variety of form, and were made of marble, bronze, and the precious metals. The bronze candelabra of the Renaissance are also notable art objects.
