An Italian Brass Hanukkah Lamp, 18th Century

About the Item

An Italian Brass cast bench Hanukkah lamp made in the Renaissance era of the 18th century. A pair of rampant lions leaning on a goblet-shaped burning incense alter is reminiscent of the incense alter used at the ancient temple. Framed by two large C-scroll designs and crowned with a domed roof similar to the ones on buildings of that period. Servant lamp is attached to the tip of the domed roof, under an applied hanging ring built into the backplate. Eight square oil wells with pointed tapering spouts are attached to the lower portion of the backplate. The inscription written at the bottom reads "For a mitzvah is the lamp and Torah is illumination" in Hebrew.
