A pricket is a term used to describe a spike, often made of metal attached to a base, that is used to hold a candle securely in place. The base of a candle is inserted onto the pointed ste, holding it upright and preventing it from tilting or falling. Prickets were commonly used in medieval and Renaissance times as a practical and decorative element in candle holders. They provided stability to the candle while also serving as an ornamental feature. Over time, candle holder designs have evolved, and prickets are now found in historical, religious or antique candle holders, adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to these pieces.
