What is the main question of the research, what are the shapes and roles of the Timurid, Safavid and Qajar period candlesticks and what are their commonalities or differences? The type of research is descriptive-historical. Collecting information is by library and document method. The statistical population of the research includes 7 metal candlesticks from each perio.
