Candleholders add style and grace to your home

Among the most powerful mood enhancers in a room is the glow of candlelight. It beckons guests to its warmth, mesmerizes with its flickering and lends mystery. It casts a romantic spell on an interior
Candleholders can be ordinary or as captivating as the dancing lights. From simple candlesticks to elaborate candelabras, table centerpieces and even wall-mounted containers, candleholders are decorative accessories that hold their own even when the votives, tapers or pillars they cradle are not lighted.
Candleholders long have been collectibles and span a rich history of design styles. Tall hand-carved, painted or gilded wood candlesticks from Italy and delicate enameled 18th-century French holders are sold at auctions and in antique shops for hundreds to thousands of dollars apiece.
Today they are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles — from luxurious to rustic, from exotic to whimsical.
