For medieval encampments, there are various hand-forged designs, including compact table candlesticks, wall candlesticks for hammering into the ground, decorative floor candlesticks, and combined candle and pine torch holders. The main difference between the models lies in the candle holder: While spike candlesticks have a forged, pointed spike onto which the candle is placed for fixation, models with a candle socket have a tubular socket into which the end of the candle is inserted.
