candelabras

Multi-armed light stands

Candelabras is the plural of candelabrum, a branched candleholder with multiple arms extending from a central stem.

The word comes from Latin and technically takes the plural candelabra, but candelabras has become standard in English: The dining room featured matching silver candelabras.

Candelabras range from small tabletop pieces to elaborate floor-standing fixtures.
