This listing features a matched pair of weighted sterling silver three-arm candelabra, consistent with American mid-century silversmithing production from the 1940s-1960s. Each candelabrum features a classic urn-form central column rising from a stepped, weighted circular base, with two gracefully curved S-scroll arms extending outward to flanking bobeches, providing three candle positions per piece — six total across the pair. The bobeches display the characteristic bell-shaped cup form with rolled rims typical of this era, and the bases are weighted (likely filled with pitch or plaster composite) for stability, a standard construction method used by American silver manufacturers including Duchin, Gorham, and Towle during this period. The stepped pedestal bases feature concentric ring detailing and the arms display a refined double-reed profile, indicating quality production. Each candelabrum measures approximately 5 inches tall at the center column and spans roughly 12-13 inches wide tip to tip. The bases retain their original felt or baize pads (visible in the images as red/pink material), protecting tabletop surfaces. Condition is rated Good to Very Good: both pieces display expected tarnish and patina consistent with decades of storage and use, with light surface scratches across the bases and columns, some darkening in the recessed areas of the bobeches, and minor oxidation throughout. No dents, cracks, or missing components are observed, and both candelabra stand firmly without wobble. These would polish beautifully with standard silver polish and would make an impressive formal dining table centerpiece for Colorado estate entertaining.
