This pair of table candlesticks, produced by WMF in Germany during the 1950s and 1960s, embodies the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Crafted from chromed metal, each piece features a highly polished, mirror-like silver surface with subtle warm undertones revealed in the reflections. The design is founded on softly rounded square bases and matching square drip trays, both with gently curved edges. The proportions are low and wide, emphasizing stability and aligning with the minimalist approach of the era. The central spike for holding the candle is slender and seamlessly integrated into the structure. There are no decorative features; the uniform, smooth surface reflects the tenets of modernist design. One candlestick bears the WMF signature, confirming authenticity. Condition: very good vintage – surfaces show minor scratches and signs of use consistent with age, with no dents or cracks; the construction is stable and complete.These candlesticks evoke the spirit of postwar European modernism, an era that sought balance between function and form. Their organic, sculptural lines speak of a time when everyday objects were meant to embody modernity. The mirrored surface captures and reflects light and its surroundings, resonating with the optimism and clarity of the 1950s and 1960s, when chrome and simplicity symbolized hope for a new aesthetic order. Each slight scratch is a quiet trace of past evenings and gatherings, while the restrained silhouette carries the dignity and composure of the era’s optimism.The set may serve as a subtle accent on a modern dining table, sideboard, or console. They would pair well with furniture featuring clean lines
