Dear Praxy, of all the quizzes posted, yours is a real humdinger
Excellent most brains of our batch have guessed, only one is near
Though Vatican City to Buckingham Palace, answers had come
Candlabrum from your palatial mansion, seems the credible one

My dear Seelan,
Dear Praxy has foxed us with a real toughy
None of us can solve it need help in a hurry
As a well travelled man in our batch, brainy
Solve this puzzle of the candlabrum, mighty

Dear All,
Yes some have guessed …nearly correct. It is called a Torchere – a large floor standing candelabra made in Venice in the 1840s. Designed to hold 12 candles to illuminate the dining rooms of castles. They were converted to electricity in the 20th century. Praxy
Torchere– I guess- this is how the word ‘torch ‘ came to be .
I am not a fan of castles, built by the mighty rich and famous, , through the blood , sweat and tears of the less fortunate .
I guess you saw this one your recent visit to Wales last week .
Anyway my dear Praxy- thanks for the great quiz- learn something new every day .

This free standing thing is called ” Mighty Thunder to Wake Up All ‘ !!!!
This is in Praxy Castle – where ever the Castle is !!
It does shed a lot of light on the Sleeping Beauties – trapped in the Web .

They are called Acanthus or Gothic style candelabra. I think they are found in churches, ancient castles and Praxy’s Castle as Deepthi alluded to.
