Two hundred years ago everyone’s ancestors lit their homes with candles and obviously the design of much antique furniture and spaces were originally intended to work with candle(s) as the light source.
Some classic forms include traditional stick candle holders, lanterns with or without clear and diffuse glass or other materials to allow the light to pass, imitation candles, multiple candle chandeliers, and sometimes even side-of-mirror sconces to create a replica of a traditional illumination means.
