medieval candelabra

Most medieval-style candelabra are made from metal, with iron and wrought iron commonly used for their construction.

They’re designed for common decorative candles such as tapers and pillar candles; some listings also note compatibility with menorah-style tapers.

Blot any liquids immediately with a damp cloth and avoid surface cleaners that could remove the finish. Periodically check and tighten any hardware connections to maintain stability.

Capacities vary by design: many single tabletop holders are made for one candle, while hearth-style or multi-piece designs commonly list capacities of three or five candles.

Listings show a range: single holders often around 17.5 inches tall, some tabletop pieces near 8 inches, and sets offered in large/medium/small sizes (examples: 12.75", 10", 8").

Most descriptions reference antiqued or antique bronze tones. At least one listing mentions a black finish with gold accents; other finishes are not consistently specified across listings.

They’re typically used on tabletops—dining tables, consoles, mantels, and entryway displays. Hearth-style candelabra are also described for fireplace use or as tabletop/sideboard accents.

Many are made from solid metal or iron and are described as durable and stable. One listing notes a substantial metal construction weighing about 6 pounds.
