Offered is a pair of elegant candlestick holder's from Elvis Presley's home, Graceland. The pair, with the clear glass adornments hanging from each side, were later given to Graceland maid and cook Nancy Rooks. Nancy worked as a maid and cook for Elvis Presley at Graceland from 1967 to 1977, and stayed on to work for the family until 1982. She treasured her time working for Elvis and the Presley family, and always enjoyed sharing her memories with fans over the years. She made countless meals for Elvis, including his peanut butter and banana sandwiches. As a member of the Graceland family, Nancy was given any number of household items, decorative pieces or keepsakes that Elvis, Vernon, Elvis' grandmother Minnie Mae or Elvis' Aunt Delta wanted her to have. Sadly, Nancy passed on August 15, 2022, during The annual "Elvis Week" celebrations in Memphis. The items offered in this auction emanate directly from Nancy's estate and are accompanied by a letter of authenticity from her family.
The heavy candlesticks measure 12 inches in height and present with signs of moderate to heavy use, missing the end of one string of glass crystals. Very Good to Excellent condition.
