The seven-branched candelabrum, known as the "Menorah" and described in great
detail in Exodus, was one of the major implements first in the traveling 'Mishkan' after
the Exodus from Egypt, and later in the First and Second Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
The more recent Temple was sacked and looted by the Romans some 1,940 years ago,
in the year 70, and its implements carried off. Their whereabouts are unknown, and the
Menorah plays no significant role in Judaism except as an historical symbol, since then.
A Menorah, which appears in the Jewish Temple, is a lamp with six branches and one light in the middle. A Hannukiah, which has eight branches and one candle in the middle, is lit on the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, lighting one branch and the middle candle on the first night, and lighting one more branch each night of Hanukkah after that.
I am assuming you are referring to a seven branch candle holder in which case it is a Menorah; not to be confused with the 9 branch Chanukah menorah also known as a chanukkiyah
I believe you're referring to the candelabra that holds 7 candles. That is called a 'menorah'.
