Description

Candlesticks with a foot only appeared in Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. The increase in popularity may be due to the return of wax traders from the East. There, these candlesticks were used as early as the 13th century.

Wax was quite an expensive commodity. The sleeves were usually left open at the sides to facilitate the removal of the ends of the candles to reuse the wax, as well as the wax from the drip trays under the candlestick. These often form the circular base and centre of gravity of the candlestick.
