Coming from the British Quick Crossword, our clue is a candlestick with handle. One would think of a candelabra, but that’s not the answer we’re looking for right now. It’s another term and in fact another design. The candelabra holds mostly three candles, and they can be carried around. The answer we’re looking for is a bit more immobile.
A candlestick with a handle that you might not think of
The answer we are looking for is a SCONCE. A sconce is a candle holder that is mounted on a wall. That’s why we say that it is a bit immobile, but it does have a handle. It’s attached to a wall where people can remove the cover and change the candle.
The design can vary, and it looks like those old medieval candle holders on a wall. Nowadays, there are modern designs where the covers are usually updated. You got class covers, iron, and other designs that are so good. Some use light bulbs, but they are still considered a sconce.
