Here is a beautiful vintage pair of Gorham Heritage silver-plated hummingbird taper candlestick holders. Wonderful for a table scape, side table or bookshelf decor, these highly detailed pieces polish to a bright silver but as silver is wont to do, tarnish to a rich patina.
Made in Italy, likely in the 1980s, this set features sculptural hummingbirds hovering in mid-flight with their beaks extended toward fluted trumpet flower candle cups, all resting on a detailed leaf base. The bottom has a soft rubberish base.
I’m happy to combine shipping so please see my other listings for more vintage and classic home finds.
A little history:
Though Gorham is a historic American silversmith brand, these specific decorative holloware pieces were outsourced and manufactured in Italy to utilize fine Italian cast-metal molding techniques.
