Korean Heritage Series_#1 백동 촛대 (A Cupronickel Candlestick)

This 3D asset is based on '백동 촛대 Baekdong chotdae', the Cupronickel Candlesticks, made in Joseon (1392~1897, Korea).

This candlestick has a decorative reflector. Probably, the reflectors were designed to amplify the candlelight.
However, the reflectors’ shapes become more elaborate and decorative over time.


You can find double '喜' on the side of the candlestick's body. '喜' means joy and happiness, and usually, it was used for newly married couple.
