Candlesticks & Candle Holders

Candlesticks, candle holders and candelabra combine decorative form with the warm visual effect of candlelight. The Select Interior World collection ranges from compact individual candlesticks and sculptural candle holders to substantial multi-arm candelabra and selected decorative candle lanterns, offering options for both classic and contemporary interiors.

These pieces can be used as table decorations, architectural accents or standalone decorative objects. Depending on their proportions and design, they can create a low, balanced composition on a dining table, add height to a console or sideboard, or become a more expressive focal point in an entrance hall, living room or hospitality interior.

Designer Candlesticks, Candle Holders and Candelabra

The collection brings together different approaches to candle display, from restrained single-candle forms to more elaborate candelabra with several candle positions. Designs range from traditional silhouettes with ornamental detailing to cleaner contemporary forms where proportion, material and finish define the decorative effect.

• individual candlesticks for compact decorative arrangements;
• designer candle holders in classic and contemporary forms;
• multi-arm candelabra for larger tables, consoles and statement compositions;
• tall decorative designs that introduce vertical emphasis;
• selected candle lanterns for applications specified by the individual product.

Materials represented in the collection include brass, metal, crystal, glass, porcelain, wood, iron, bronze, marble and ceramics. Brass and other metal designs can give the object a stronger architectural character, while crystal and transparent glass introduce reflection and visual lightness. Porcelain offers a more decorative and often more detailed surface, while wood, iron and bronze provide additional texture and material contrast.

Finishes range from gold, silver, brass and bronze tones to black, white, transparent and multicolour combinations. Selected products are also available with alternative or customisable finishes, allowing the candle holder to be coordinated with nearby lighting, furniture, mirrors and other metal details.

The collection features candlesticks and candle holders from established brands such as Il Paralume Marina, Le Porcellane, Mariner, Castro Lighting, Christopher Guy, Officina Ciani, LumArt and Badari, covering richly detailed traditional designs as well as more restrained modern and contemporary pieces.

For a broader selection of objects for tables, consoles and shelves, explore designer vases and table decorations. Candlesticks can also be coordinated with decorative bowls or combined with decorative and flower vases to create layered interior compositions using different heights, materials and forms.

How to Choose Candlesticks and Candle Holders

Consider Size, Height and Placement

Start by checking the complete dimensions of the product and comparing them with the surface where it will be displayed. A compact candlestick can work well on a smaller table, shelf or grouped arrangement, while a tall candle holder or substantial candelabrum generally requires more visual and physical space.

On a dining table, height should be considered in relation to sightlines between people seated opposite each other. Taller designs can instead work effectively on consoles, sideboards, large coffee tables or other surfaces where vertical emphasis is desirable without interfering with conversation or movement.

Check the Candle Configuration, Material and Finish

Consider whether the composition requires one candle position or a multi-arm candelabrum. The number and arrangement of candle positions affect both the overall scale of the object and the visual rhythm it creates when displayed.

Candle dimensions and compatibility should always be checked in the individual product information where specified rather than assumed to be universal. The same applies to removable components, glass elements and other product-specific details.

Material and finish should also relate naturally to the surrounding interior. Gold, brass and bronze tones can connect with warm metallic details in furniture and lighting, while silver and transparent crystal or glass can create a lighter reflective effect. Black finishes provide stronger contrast, and porcelain or multicolour designs can introduce more decorative detail.

Check Product-Specific Technical Information

Conventional candlesticks and candle holders are decorative products and therefore do not normally require electrical specifications such as voltage, lamp type or IP rating. However, selected lantern-style products may have different construction, outdoor applications or electrical options. Where such features are offered, always check the individual product page for the intended location, technical specifications and installation requirements.

Outdoor suitability should never be assumed from appearance alone. If a candle holder or lantern is intended for a terrace, garden, entrance or other exposed location, confirm that the specific model is described as suitable for that application.

Candlesticks for Residential and Commercial Interiors

In residential interiors, candlesticks and candle holders can be used on dining tables, consoles, sideboards, coffee tables and other display furniture. A pair of coordinated candlesticks can create symmetry, while a single sculptural piece can serve as a focal point. Larger candelabra are particularly suited to interiors where the scale of the furniture or room requires a more substantial decorative object.

Designer candle holders can also be considered for hotels, restaurants, lounges, reception areas and other commercial interiors where decorative lighting by candlelight forms part of the atmosphere or interior concept. Scale, stability, cleaning requirements and the surrounding circulation space should all be considered when specifying pieces for professional projects. Where real candles are used in public or hospitality environments, the applicable local fire-safety requirements and venue policies must also be observed.
