Handmade Wrought Iron Courting Candle Holder with Heart-Shaped Base. This traditional design will look great in your home and includes a wooden slide to adjust the candle height. The History: A spiral-shaped candleholder forged of wrought iron was used to determine how long a suitor was allowed to visit. A young woman's father would adjust the candle to a particular height by rotating the wooden "slide." When the candle had burned down to the level of the top of the candleholder, it meant that the suitor's time was up and it was time for him to leave.
