| A chandlery was originally the office in a medieval household responsible for wax and candles, as well as the room in which the candles were kept. It could be headed by a chandler. The office was subordinated to the kitchen, and only existed as a separate office in larger households.

As such, a "chandler" is a person who sells candles.By the 18th century most commercial chandlers dealt in candles and soap, although even then many were becoming general dealers.
