candlesticks
Taper-holding fixtures
Candlesticks are holders designed to support candles, typically with a base, stem, and cup or spike to secure the candle upright.
They range from simple functional objects to ornate decorative pieces: silver candlesticks on the mantelpiece.
In financial charts, candlesticks are bar-shaped indicators showing price movements over time, with the body representing opening and closing prices and thin lines (wicks) showing highs and lows.
