Godinger Silver Single Candlestick/Candle Holder with Cherubs. Measures 10" in height by 7". Excellent condition.
This sophisticated Godinger Silver Art Company piece captures the whimsical elegance of Baroque-inspired design with its sculptural figural handle. Standing approximately 10 inches in height, the candlestick features a dynamic arrangement of angels or cherubs—one of which is depicted playing a trumpet while another holds a lyre—supporting a single tapered candle cup. The entire scene rests upon a substantial, asymmetrical base crafted to resemble swirling clouds, providing a dramatic foundation for this silver-plated work.
Founded in 1973 by Arnold Godinger and William Lefkowitz, the New York-based Godinger Silver Art Company is renowned for producing high-quality giftware that replicates the grandeur of antique European metalware. This particular "musical angels" design has become a beloved favorite among collectors for its intricate detail and reflective silver finish. It serves as a stunning centerpiece for a wedding table, a mantelpiece accent for a formal holiday dinner, or a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates angelic or classical art. Its weight and 7-inch width ensure it remains stable while holding a standard taper candle, bringing both height and historical charm to any tabletop display.
This item is vintage, approximately 30 to 40 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
