Description: A pair of bronze and green pottery candle stands over 12" high. The wide bronze base in rococo style has six paws. The holders taper and near the top is a green pottery holder with a bronze rim. Different sizes and shapes of pottery jewels are inlaid on the bronze stand.


History: Probably the need for candle holders was discovered very early in history, as they could easily fall over and cause a fire. Holders would be needed (as they are today) to keep them stable and out of reach of careless hands and flammable furnishings. In the days when candles (and torches, etc) were the only means of lighting, fire would be a huge danger. As time went on, hundreds of candles would be placed in brilliant chandeliers which hung from the ceiling to provide more light, and there would also be wall sconces and candleabra. Mainly, of course, the holder would have been to prevent danger; they could also be very decorative and beautiful.
