An Italian Brass Hanukkah Lamp, Circa 1700
About the Item
An Early Italian brass Hanukkah lamp from circa 1700 is regarded as a valuable and culturally significant piece of Judaica and represents the artistic excellence of Italian craftsmanship.
The Jewish community in Italy during the 17th century was vibrant and well-established, with Jewish presence dating back to Roman times, despite facing periods of persecution and ghettoization. Italian Jews contributed significantly to commerce, scholarship, and the arts. Metalworking, including brass work, was a highly developed craft in Italy during this era.
The backplate is shaped like a large archway framed with Roman columns and features Baroque design elements on the top of the backplate and the sides, reflecting the broader artistic trends of 17th-century Italy. Attached to the lower backplate is a row of eight classic cast oil wells formed with long tapering pointed spouts.
Used during the eight-day festival of Hanukkah, the lamp holds significant religious importance, commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It serves both a religious function and as a decorative piece, reflecting the owner's faith and cultural heritage.
Judaica items from the 17th century are highly valued for their historical context and artistic merit. The artistic influences of Baroque Italy make this lamp particularly significant and appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of Judaica and antique Italian art.
