Banal cadre designed sconces (10)
I believe the answer is:
candelabra
'sconces' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'banal cadre designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates an anagram (designed with the letters).
'banal'+'cadre'='banalcadre'
'banalcadre' with letters rearranged gives 'CANDELABRA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for candelabra that I've seen before include "Branched light holder" , "Branched ornamental lamp holders" , "Groups of lights suspended from ceiling" , "Lamp-holders" , "Kind of 1 across (correctly 1 acrosses)" .)
