Girandoles, often referred to as candelabra, are decorative objects that consist of multiple lights or candles arranged in a circular or spiral design. They were popular during the 18th and 19th centuries as an elegant lighting source in European homes. Today, the term girandole has become synonymous with similar decorative objects, including chandeliers, sconces, and other ornamental lighting fixtures. Alternatives to girandoles include candlesticks, wall lights, and lampshades. The use of contemporary materials such as crystal, glass, and metal in their production has given these objects a modern twist, making them popular decorative pieces in today's homes.
