chamberstick
Handled candle tray
A chamberstick is a short candlestick with a wide saucer-like base and a loop handle, designed to be carried from room to room.
The broad base catches dripping wax and provides stability when set down.
Chambersticks were common household items before electric lighting: She lit the chamberstick and climbed the stairs to bed.
