Gold Metal Candelabra, Tabletop Candlestick Holder for Dinner Parties, Weddings and Holiday Tables, Two Sizes
Gold Metal Candelabra, Tabletop Candlestick Holder for Dinner Parties, Weddings and Holiday Tables, Two Sizes
It sits low enough that the people across the table stay in view.
Details
This gold metal candelabra is a small tabletop piece, not a tall floor stand, and sits low enough to keep the people across the table in view. That height separates a centerpiece from an obstacle. The low form also keeps it stable: little leverage when the table gets knocked, so the candles stay standing. It takes standard taper candles.
It lives down the middle of a dinner table. Two with tapers lit give the whole table candlelight, and nobody leans sideways to see who is opposite. The medium size suits a wedding table or a long holiday table; the small one is plenty for a round table for two. The gold picks up brass flatware, warm-toned glassware and linen, and looks right on dark wood or a white cloth. Off season it sits on a sideboard or mantel.
Metal with a gold finish; the small is 7 cm, the medium 13.5 cm. Wipe with a dry cloth. Let dripped wax cool and harden, then lift it off with a wooden spatula or a fingernail, since a metal scraper or hot water marks the gold. Never leave lit candles unattended, stand it on a heat-proof surface with nothing flammable nearby, and wrap it for storage so the finish stays unscratched.

Why it earns its place
Sits low
A centrepiece you can talk over. That height is the difference between a table centre and an obstacle.
Two sizes
Small 7 cm or medium 13.5 cm, so it scales from a dinner for two to a long holiday table.
Standard tapers
Takes ordinary taper candles, the ones every supermarket sells, so you are never hunting for a special size.
In your home
Down the middle of a dinner table is where it lives, and the low height is the reason: two of them and a run of tapers gives the table candlelight without anyone leaning sideways to see the person opposite. At a wedding or a long holiday table, the medium size holds its own; on a small round table for two, the small one is enough.
Gold metal picks up brass cutlery, warm-toned glassware and a linen cloth, and it looks as right on dark wood as on a white tablecloth. Off-season it can sit on a sideboard or mantelpiece.
Materials and quality
Metal, in a gold finish, made as a small tabletop candelabra rather than a tall floor piece. The low form is what gives it its stability: less height means less leverage when someone knocks the table, and the candles stay upright. The sockets take standard taper candles. Two sizes, small 7 cm and medium 13.5 cm, so you can match it to the length of the table and how much light you want.
Care and everyday use
Wipe with a dry cloth. Let any dripped wax cool and set, then lift it off with a fingernail or a wooden spatula; hot water or a metal scraper will mark the gold finish. Never leave lit candles unattended, and keep the candelabra on a heat-proof surface away from anything that can catch. Store it wrapped so the finish does not get scratched in a drawer.
Good to know
What candles does it take?
Standard taper candles, the ordinary dinner-candle size.
Which size for a dinner for six?
The medium 13.5 cm holds its own on a longer table; the small 7 cm suits a table for two or a side table.
Will people be able to see over it?
Yes. It is deliberately low so a centrepiece does not block the view across the table.
