Candlestick from South Carolina long ago (6)
I believe the answer is:
sconce
'candlestick' is the definition.
(sconce is a kind of candlestick)
'south carolina long ago' is the wordplay.
'south carolina' becomes 'sc'.
'long ago' becomes 'once' (I've seen this before).
'sc'+'once'='SCONCE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sconce that I've seen before include "Fine < screen" , "Candleholder - head - mug - fortification" , "Ornamental candle holder" , "shelter" , "Wall bracket for a candle" .)
