Candlesticks

Candlesticks, in Germany, were often placed upon shrines, and some, of pyramidal shape and of the 15th century, still remain. In Chichester Cathedral, lights, on particular days, were set round four tombs in the Presbytery. Candlesticks of bronze remain at Nuremberg, Mayence, Aix-la-Chapelle, and Leau; at Bruges there are four of copper-gilt in the Jerusalem church, and in the Louvre there are three, with enamel-work of the 12th century.
