For those who swear by their vintage candlestands, here’s a call out loud! Yes! They are classy and subtle as well, and no one shall ever deny the colossal aesthetic value they can add to the interiors of a house. But for those, who wish to stray away from the classic candlestand, and yet wish to stay true to being vintage silver candelabras are their best bet.

Here’s a little sneak peek into what got the quintessential silver candelabras to be what they are for ethnic, and classy interiors.

 

What exactly are candelabras?

The word ‘candelabras’ find their origin from the Latin ‘candelabrum’, meaning, ‘candle tree’ since its arms branch out to accommodate multiple candles at a go. The arms herein could also be removed at the users’ will to reduce the number of branches and make them easier for handling.

It is but obvious why the candelabrum became so popular on dinner tables in the early 1800-s in Britain. They were actually meant to display more light, so that these tables could look beautiful, enhancing their aesthetics. Hence, these candle stands served the dual purpose of illumination and decoration simultaneously.

However, with the advent of light bulbs in the late 1800-s, the candelabrum and the singular candle stick slowly disappeared from the interiors of British households. It is only later, that they’re going through a phase of a revival due to the fact that modern homeowners realize that there can be no better manner of decking up one’s interiors than staying true to being vintage.

 

What are the various types of candelabras that one might use for one’s interiors?

Before individuals know about types of candelabras, they might do well to know a tiny fun factoid here. The resurgence of the quintessential Georgian reproduction of Argentum candelabras began in the early 1900s. This is when people began showing an inclination towards elaborate styling and grandeur.

Another tidbit of information here: The early 1900s marked the era of King George I, when linear styles flourished. One of the many reasons why the candelabrum resurfaced is actually attributed to the popularity of these styles.

By and by these styles evolved during the reigns of George II and George III, bringing us to the candelabrum styles that one might do well to consider while beautifying their interiors with the Georgian look and feel.

Here are some of them:

  1. Silver Five Light Candelabra - George I Style
