JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This lot presents a matching set of four Gorham weighted sterling silver candlestick holders, each featuring the classic gadroon (rope-twist) border detail encircling both the candle cup rim and the outer edge of the circular domed base. Hand-marked Gorham sterling silver, these pieces represent exceptional American silversmithing craftsmanship from the mid-20th century. Each candlestick stands approximately 2.5 inches tall with a base diameter of roughly 3.5 inches, sized to accept standard taper candles. The bases are weighted with filler material (visible through the open base), a construction method standard for weighted sterling silver candlesticks that provides optimal stability during use. The gadroon border is a hallmark of Georgian-inspired formal tableware design and these pieces would have been part of a distinguished formal dining or entertaining service. Condition is rated Good to Very Good overall; the sterling silver exhibits expected tarnishing and darkening in the recessed gadroon details, light surface scratches across the bases and stems consistent with decades of use and storage, and some uneven patina with brass-toned undertones visible in areas of heavier wear on the candle cups. All four pieces are structurally sound with no dents, cracks, or missing elements, and the set presents uniformly well as a matched group of authentic Gorham sterling silver pieces ready for polishing or display.
