Vintage Set of Two Empire Sterling Silver Weighted Double-Arm Candelabras

You will receive both candelabras with the purchase of this listing. The taper candles are not included in the purchase.

Presenting a stunning pair of vintage sterling silver double-arm candelabras, perfect for adding a touch of timeless elegance to your dining table, mantle, or curated display. Crafted with a beautiful, graceful curvature, each candelabra features ribbed arms extending from a central finial, supported by a weighted pedestal base with a classic gadroon border. The silver currently boasts a rich, natural tarnish and dark patina, making them ideal for a moody, dark academia, or English country-inspired aesthetic, though they could easily be polished to a brilliant shine for a more traditional look. The hallmark on the bottom reads "Empire Sterling Weighted 48," identifying them as the work of the Empire Silver Company of Brooklyn, New York. The company was founded in 1946, and this specific style of weighted silver was highly popular in the post-war era, placing the creation of these pieces in the mid-20th century, likely between the late 1940s and 1960s.

Condition: Signs of tarnish and wear to the sterling surface consistent with vintage age. One of the candelabras has a slight wobble.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
