These 3 Vintage Style Hanging Candle Holders are absolutely gorgeous when candles are put inside no matter if real candles or battery operated. These are versatile in that they can be hung from the ceiling or they can sit on a stand/ The upper base is wide enough to put a medium to large size candle in it so it sits at the bottom. When lit the holder will illuminate the color that the base is with prisms of colors. Really pretty.
