A taper holder is a stand or device designed to securely hold and display slender, elongated candles, such as tapers. It typically features a vertical structure with a socket or indentation at the top to insert the candle, ensuring it remains upright and stable while burning. The taper holder's purpose is to provide a safe and elegant way to showcase and illuminate taper candles, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in various settings, including homes, restaurants, and special events.
