Story behind this unique butterfly candle holder... In the 16th through 19th Century Asian cultures; prostitution was prevalent. For those working in the trade, they had signals or ways to advertise that they were available. One such way was through a candle holder that had a screen that could be rotated to hide or reveal the flickering flame. If the candle was blazing with wick visible, then the lady was in and available; if the candle light was blurred by the butterfly screen - then she was busy.
In the 1970s the style in candle holders were sought after for their beauty not its historical reference or relevance.
