Mrs. Roosevelt fretted over the choice of candelabras as a wedding gift. Would I like them? Would I use them? Eleanor envisioned me making dinners that matched the elegance of the candlabra’s that were to be gifted to us. When I received them I wanted to use them because they were so beautiful and of course because they were also a gift from the most famous First Lady in U.S. history. I use them regularly on my dining table on special occasions. I wonder whether they were part of The Livingston Silver Collection? I received them in a Tiffany blue box, however I suspect they came from elsewhere. To this day I still don’t know their provenance. All that matters is that they were a gift from Eleanor Roosevelt and a gift from history.
