Like a moth to a flame.....

Veranda, 2004

There�s nothing more mysterious then the light from the glow of a candle enhanced only by that which holds it and nothing sets off a candle more then an antique gilded candlestick.

Mona over at providence ltd design likes to design with them but used a unique sconce made from an antique candlestick.

I love groups of candles in front of a mirror since the mirror enhances the amount of light put off into a room.

Or how about some ambiance in the kitchen?

Joan over at for the love of a house has her candlesticks set off by an antique painting.

While Andie at Divine Theatre gives her fireplace some added flare with two tall candlesticks.

I'm in love with the whole setting of this fireplace!

Candlesticks can come in any shape or size as seen here, there�s a very tall gold gilt by the doors and a very unique candle sconce being held by an arm.

Candlesticks can even frame out accessories drawing the eye in.

my candlesticks and sconces

A few of my own antique candlesticks and sconces in my studio, two large silver leaf, a pair of refurbished sconces (I know burn the wicks) and several pairs of 18^th century blue church candlesticks.

I plan on bring my candlesticks out for the holidays, how about you?
