This two-arm candlestick from the 1960s, produced by Danish manufacturer Berg, is a hallmark of Scandinavian modernism. Made from silver-plated brass, it features an elliptical base and a single, gently curving stem that splits into two candle holders set at different heights. The surface, in a classic, cool silver-grey, reveals a subtle color gradient shifting from pale graphite to warmer golden and bluish tones, especially visible around the holders and along the stem. The finish is semi-glossy, with localized matting and delicate patina as well as spot oxidation, which heightens the object's vintage appeal. No major structural damage is visible; light scratches and natural tarnish add a sense of authenticity typical of silverware aged with grace. The piece bears the manufacturer's signature. Overall condition is good: the form is intact, with minor marks and characteristic patina consistent with an original item from the era. This candlestick reflects the Danish sense of balance between utility and beauty in the 1960s: its restrained silhouette and flowing outline appear almost in movement, as if capturing a fleeting gesture. The faded silver, retaining a glint of its past shine, evokes the nuanced lighting of Scandinavian interiors, where every accent underscores understated rituals and daily refinement. The patinated finish gently tells of a time when simplicity was elevated, merging practicality with material awareness – as if the designer had listened to the quiet needs of the modern home. The candlestick could be paired with raw teak wood or minimalist, low-profile ceramics to bring out its organic design. It will work well amid subdued textiles, set atop a simple sideboard or coffee table in a mid-century modern
