lampstands
Lamp-supporting vertical fixtures
Lampstands are bases or supports designed to hold lamps.
The term appears most often in biblical contexts, referring to the sacred candelabra in Jewish temples: The golden lampstand stood in the holy place.
Outside religious texts, the word is uncommon—modern English prefers lamp base, lamp stand (two words), or simply stand.
