The Candle light holders are as important to the use of candles as ash catchers are to the use of incense. They both ensure safety and prevent the spilling of hot wax on to surfaces in your home. Different types of candles require different types of holders, but no matter what sort of candle you choose, you should absolutely never go without a candle holder. A candle holder can be as simple as a ceramic or glass plate placed under a pillar candle, or as ornate as a beautiful carved pyramid burner that allows light to flicker out through various holes carved in soapstone. The variety of candle holders is vast, and many of them are very beautiful, so you are sure to find just the piece to suit your candles and your home!

Bakelite/Phenolic: These socket shells are thick black plastic and are typically found in less expensive lighting where the sockets are hidden by the lamp body.
Porcelain Lamp Sockets (lamp holders) includes all candelabra, medium (standard) sizes, and mogul size sockets.
