Vintage Sterling Silver Hanukkiah

About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive vintage English sterling silver Hanukkiah; an addition to our ornamental Judaica silverware collection This exceptional vintage sterling silver hanukkiah* has plain circular capitals onto a baluster panelled column to an incurved oval foot. This vintage candelabrum features nine imposing angular arms (labra); four to either side of the column and one perpendicular. The circular rounded capitals have plain flared rims. The upper portion of the column is fitted with an impressive baluster decorated terminal surmounted with a Star of David* design. The surface of the base is embellished with fluted decoration, with a paralleling reed decorated border to the lower portion. This exceptional vintage silver Hanukkah menorah / hanukkiah does not have a weighted base. * This hanukkiah (Hebrew: ???????????) is lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah. The ninth holder is called the shamash and is used to light the other eight during the celebrations. ** The Star of David can also be referred to as the Shield of David or Magen David and is a recognised symbol of Judaism. Condition This vintage sterling silver hanukkiah is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The piece has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the base are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of vintage silverware.
