The silver-plated WMF Ikora candlestick from the 1950s exemplifies the distinctive character of German mid-century modern design. Executed in metal with a warm silver tone, accented by golden undertones and subtle iridescence, its surface gleams while showing small, age-appropriate marks including light dullness and delicate spots of tarnish. Four asymmetrical arms extend from a solid, oval base in slender, gently curving lines, each ending in a broad, shallow candle holder with integrated spikes designed for secure placement of candles. The piece is signed by the WMF manufactory, with a diameter of 33 cm and a height of 13.5 cm. The overall appearance is glossy, with only minor traces of use and no significant damage or evidence of restoration. Condition: good, maintaining minor, authentic signs of wear typical for a vintage piece from the era. This candlestick channels the narrative of postwar German optimism and a new vision of craftsmanship—its dynamic, asymmetric lines reflect a drive for innovation where function and refined aesthetics merge. The metallic gleam evokes a time when light and reflection became metaphors for hope and renewal. The candlestick’s organic curves take part in a quiet dialogue between tradition and modernity, making every candlelit moment a subtle tribute to the spirit of bygone decades. One could present it atop a modern or classic dining table, pairing it with minimalist porcelain or glassware of textured finish. The piece would complement mid-century modern or collector’s eclectic spaces, especially when combined with a decorative mirror in a metal frame or graphite-toned ceramics. It could serve as a centerpiece on a teak
