    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of candlestick or holders exist?

    Candlesticks or holders come in several types: single tapers, multi-arm candelabra, chambersticks with handles, and low votive or pillar holders. Materials include brass, silver, glass and ceramic. At Eleish Van Breems Home we carry candlesticks holders across these forms. Browse the wider candle holders range to compare styles.

    How many candlestick or holders does a dining table need?

    A dining table usually needs two to four candlesticks holders, depending on its length and whether you also use a centrepiece; pairs read as symmetrical, while an odd cluster feels relaxed. Keep flames above or below eye level. A classic brass candlestick anchors most groupings.

    How do I mix candlesticks or holders of different heights?

    Mix candlesticks holders of different heights by keeping one material or finish constant, so varied shapes still read as a set; step heights up toward the centre or a wall. A tall silver candlestick lifts the eye within the group. 

    How do I get wax off candlesticks or holders?

    Get wax off candlesticks holders by letting it harden, then lifting it with a fingernail or plastic scraper; warm stubborn wax with a hair dryer and wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid metal blades that scratch. Fit fresh candles snugly so future drips are easier to remove.
