These Black Primitive Courting Candlestick Holders evokes the spirit of an antique wrought iron spiral candle holder. The Story of the Courting Candle: In the past, a suitor visiting to court a man's daughter would be subtly timed by the candle's height. If the father approved of the match, he would set the candle high, allowing it to burn longer. If not, the candle was set lower for a shorter burn time. Once the candle burned out, the couple knew the evening had come to an end. The black candlestick holders aren't just a functional piece but also a wonderful conversation starter. Perfect for farmhouse, primitive, or vintage-inspired decor. Size: 5-3/4" x 6-1/4" x 4-1/2" Dia. Price is for 1 Minimum is 1 case of 8 Made of metal and wood Candle not included
