Sometimes also referred to as a 'candlestand', a torchere is a tall narrow table with a circular top with a long central stem, standing on a tripod base, used to stand candlesticks or, in the later part of the 19th century, oil lamps. The tops are sometimes fitted with a gallery. Similar to wine tables or tea-kettle stands, they differ in height: tables are rarely more than 80 cm in height whereas candlestands are usually some 150 cm or more high.
