Antique 1914 Sterling Silver Spice Tower
About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George V English sterling silver spice tower; an addition to our silver Judaica collection.
This exceptional antique George V sterling silver spice box has been modelled in the form of a tower.
The cuboid shaped spice box is ornamented with exceptional silver filigree work within a bordered, swept design.
This impressive vessel is fitted with a hinged door accented with a plain, hallmarked fingerpiece.
The upper portion of this impressive sterling silver spice tower* is embellished with six cast hallmarked sterling silver gargoyle figurines encompassing a plain knopped tapering chute.
The tower's chute terminates with a large ball style knop to a hallmarked undulating guidon shaped flag.
The spice compartment supports six hallmarked sterling silver bells and surmounts a knopped pedestal foot.
This antique silver spice tower, crafted by the Judaic silversmith Jacob Rozenzweig of Rosenzweig, Taitelbaum & Co, is an exceptional example of its type.
* A spice box is used to hold sweet-smelling herbs/spices and can be fashioned in many forms. As of the 16th century a very common form is that of a tower, influenced by developments in architecture. The spice tower is used to bring comfort to a Jew as they transition through Sabbath to their new week, receiving their extra soul known as a 'neshama yetera'
Condition
This antique spice tower in sterling silver is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The filigree and cast decoration is all very sharp. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the foot and part hallmarks to the flag, gargoyles and bells are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.
