candlestand
Wax taper furniture
A candlestand is a small table or stand designed to hold a candle or candlestick, typically featuring a slender pedestal and narrow top.
The term appears mostly in antiques and furniture history, describing pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries when candles were primary light sources: a mahogany candlestand from the Federal period.
