lampstand
Lamp's supporting base
A lampstand is a base or stand designed to hold a lamp, typically elevating it for better light distribution.
The term appears most often in biblical contexts, referring to the golden lampstand (menorah) in the ancient Jewish temple: The lampstand was placed opposite the table in the tabernacle.
In everyday use, lamp stand (two words) is more common for furniture.
