User-submitted Reference
From a German word meaning 'chandler', 'candle maker', or 'candle supplier'; may also be used to refer to a seller or trader of specified supplies or equipment. In medieval Europe, candles were a necessity, making the chandler an important tradesman. Some entrepreneurial chandlers were successful businessmen who began selling other goods. This increased wealth allowed some to move from the city to the country and to hire others to produce candles and manage city shops. Women who inherited their husband's shop were allowed to join chandlers' guilds.
