What Do Candlesticks Have to Do With Our Modern Times?

If you are a candle holder fan like myself, you will know how important they are to many peoples lifestyles. I find it amazing how people use candles to enhance almost any room of their house. We could not function without them for so long. It was only a matter of time before candle holders became popular in the office too. This started a whole new trend of using candles in office reception areas and kitchens. The high amount of usage in these areas gave rise to even more stylish designs.

Wealthier houses made use of the candelabra not only for decorative and functional purposes but as well as for practical ones. As silverware became the main centerpiece at a table, their height and stature developed with time. Candle chandeliers and tea light candle holders came into being as modern times gave way to the Industrial Revolution. During this time period, manufacturers moved out from home furnishing to commercialize their goods and services. Hence, they started mass producing candles to meet the demands of the market.

Candles came in various shapes, sizes and colors in order to suit every household. We can distinguish them based on the number of candles that appear in each candle holder, namely: the tall candlesticks, the shorter ones or the round candlesticks. We can also determine them by the color of the candle holders such as: white, black, cream and clear. As you can see, the trend of using the candlestick as an integral part of our lives is quite continuous in the present times.
