1-15/16" Satin Bronze Candle Socket for Sanctuary Candlesticks | Koley's Inc.

A 1-15/16" Satin Bronze Candle Socket for Sanctuary and Altar Candlesticks

The 1-15/16" Satin Bronze Candle Socket by Koley's Inc. is a practical liturgical accessory designed to hold a 1-15/16" sanctuary or altar candle securely in a candlestick cup. Candle sockets are inserted into the cup of a candlestick to provide a snug, stable fit for candles that are slightly smaller than the cup opening, preventing wobbling and keeping the candle properly centered during liturgical celebrations. The satin bronze finish gives this socket a warm, matte appearance with the deeper, richer tone characteristic of bronze, coordinating naturally with satin bronze and antique-finish candlesticks and liturgical hardware throughout the sanctuary.

This 1-15/16" size is a specialty measurement designed for parishes whose larger candlesticks require this precise diameter. It is distinct from the standard 1-1/2" and 2" sizes and should be verified carefully against your candlestick cup dimensions before ordering. Using the correct socket size ensures a secure fit, a cleaner burn, and a more polished appearance on the altar. Please confirm your candle diameter and candlestick cup size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is a candle socket?
Answer: A candle socket is a cylindrical insert placed inside the cup of a candlestick. It holds the candle securely and centered in the cup, preventing wobbling and ensuring a stable, clean burn during liturgical celebrations.

Question: How is a candle socket different from a candle follower?
Answer: A candle socket fits inside the base of the candlestick cup to hold the candle from below. A candle follower caps the top of the candle and descends with the flame as the candle burns. Both are practical accessories for maintaining sanctuary candles, but they serve different functions.

Question: What size candle does this socket fit?
Answer: This socket is sized for 1-15/16" diameter sanctuary or altar candles. This is a specialty size distinct from the standard 1-1/2" and 2" diameters. Please confirm your candle diameter and candlestick cup size carefully before ordering. Sockets are also available in 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", and 1-1/2" sizes.

Question: What finish is this socket?
Answer: This socket has a satin bronze finish, which gives it a warm, matte appearance with the deeper, richer tone of bronze alloys, well suited to satin bronze and antique-finish candlesticks and liturgical hardware.

Answer: Yes. A 1-15/16" bright bronze version (SKU K-SOCKET 1-15-16 BBZ) and a satin brass version (SKU K-SOCKET 1-15-16 SBR) are available separately for use with other candlestick finishes.
