Candelabra is the term traditionally referring to a pair (or more) of large, decorative candlesticks often shaped as a column or pedestal and having several arms or branches for holding candles. A single example of such lighting devices is known as a candelabrum. A special kind of candelabrum is the Jewishmenorah. While unnecessary today because of electrical interior lighting, candle-burning candelabra and traditional candlesticks are often used in modern homes as accessories, or as part of the interior design.
