- Loaded (candlestick) - A loaded candlestick has a hollow base that has been filled with a weight such as sand or lead shot to make it more stable and less likely to tip over. This method of stabilising candlesticks was in use during the 18th century, when large and ornate candlesticks were in vogue. The under base of the candlestick was designed to be detachable so that it could be filled with the weight, and the top of the candlestick usually featured a cup or spike to hold the candle securely in place.
- Foliate - Decorated with leaves or leaf-like forms.
