About the Item
This elegant pair of 18th-century Polish Shabbat candlesticks showcases the refined craftsmanship and stylistic sensibilities of Eastern European Judaica from the period. Cast entirely in brass, each candlestick stands on a bold and sculptural four-legged base—stylishly formed with undulating contours and gentle arches that lift the stepped, domed foundation with a commanding yet graceful presence.
One of the most distinctive features of these candlesticks is the finely cast bobèche, unusually placed at the lower end of the shaft rather than beneath the candleholder itself. Shaped like a stylized flower, this inverted placement offers a unique decorative flourish rarely seen in typical forms, adding charm and historical intrigue.
Rising from the base is a tapered, trophy-like stem formed in a subtle octagonal profile, crowned at the midpoint with a shallow saucer-shaped knop that lends visual balance and sculptural rhythm to the design. The candleholders at the top are beautifully vase-shaped, flaring outward into thick lips—accentuating their functional purpose while echoing the bold yet elegant proportions of 18th-century Polish metalwork.
These candlesticks exemplify the harmony between utilitarian design and artistic ornamentation, embodying the sanctity and tradition of Shabbat candle lighting within a rare and aesthetically distinguished form. Their historical significance and architectural form make them a treasured artifact of early Jewish domestic ritual.
