  Candelabrum - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
The most ancient example is the bronze candelabrum made by Callimachus for the Erechtheum at Athens, to carry the lamp sacred to Minerva.
The origin of the term suggests that on the top of the disk was a spike to carry a wax or tallow candle (candela or funalia).
The word "candelabrum" is also now used to describe many different forms of lighting with multiple points, and is often applied to hanging lights as well as to those which rise from a stand.

 candelabrum - HighBeam Encyclopedia
CANDELABRUM [candelabrum], primarily a support for candles, designed in the form of a turned baluster or a tapered column, also a branched candlestick or a lampstand.
In that period the distinctive form of the candelabrum came also to be a ubiquitous decorative motive, used freely in architectural ornament, tapestry borders, stained-glass windows, and furniture.
It was even converted (especially in Lombardy) into a definite architectural element, taking the place of a column or colonnette, as in windows of the Certosa at Pavia.
