Atmospheric lighting with candlesticks

23 January 2013 14:59
Warmth, light and atmosphere: a candlestick is very functional. Candlesticks have been used for centuries. While they used to be a purely practical aid in the dark, nowadays, candlesticks are a much loved decoration in every house.

Different settings

Many candles are especially used in the winter. When it gets darker earlier in the day, it becomes very tempting to light a few candles. The flickering lights give the house a warm and cosy atmosphere. However, a candlestick can also provide a tranquil atmosphere when, for instance, classical music is playing in the background. Dining by candlelight has become a habit since the 18th century: silver candelabrums were used during the meal. A candelabrum is a candlestick with multiple arms.

It is clear that a candlestick can have multiple purposes, but it can also come in various styles.
