About the Item
A Stone Hanukkah Lamp dating back to around 1900 and originating from either Jerusalem or Yemen represents a significant artifact with both religious and cultural importance.
A Hanukkah lamp, also known as a Hanukkiah, is used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil. It typically holds eight candles plus the Shamash (servant lamp) which is typically used to light the others.
This Hanukkah lamp is hand carved of stone with eight deep arched oil wells and a protuberant similarly formed servant lamp at its top center. It was crafted using local materials and traditional techniques. Stone is durable and significant in both Jewish and Yemeni cultures, often symbolizing strength, endurance, and permanence.
This Stone Hanukkah Lamp from this period provides a tangible connection to the history, traditions, and religious observance of Jewish communities in either Jerusalem or Yemen around the turn of the 20th century. It serves as a testament to the enduring cultural heritage and craftsmanship of these communities, encapsulating the significance of Hanukkah as a celebration of faith, resilience, and cultural identity.

View AllLate 18th Century Earthenware Hanukkah Lamp, Djerba, Tunisia
Located in New York, NY
A rare, late 18th century earthenware Hanukkah lamp from Djerba, Tunisia. Rectangular in shape, the Hanukkah lamp is supported by two legs. The oil fonts take the form of eight small recesses, with pinched edges on one side for wicks. Apparently, a servant light (now missing) was placed in the upper part of the lamp.
This is a particularly rare and early specimen. In all likelihood, this model – undocumented in the literature – represents a missing link between the stone lamps used in North Africa and the more familiar earthenware lamps of Tunisia, which are generally glazed in a greenish hue (in similar fashion to the present lamp). But in the latter group, the oil fonts are elevated, that is, supported on top of small columns, and are similar in design to ancient earthenware...
