An Iraqi Silver Shabbat Candlestick Holder, circa 1920. Judaica
About the Item
An Iraqi silver Shabbat candlestick holder from around 1920 is a remarkable piece of Judaica, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the Iraqi Jewish community.
The Jewish community in Iraq has ancient roots, dating back to the Babylonian exile. By the early 20th century, they were a vibrant and integral part of Iraqi society. Jewish artisans in Iraq were known for their skills in metalwork, particularly in silver.
The craftsmanship of this piece reflects the traditional Iraqi design elements featured on the center stem and on the broad domed base that has an engraved Star of David motif. In each corner of the star is one Hebrew letter that when combined forms the words " Neirot Shabbat" which means Shabbat candles. This holder can be used to hold candles as evidenced by the removable candle holders within. They can also be used to contain oil in the two beaker-shaped cups that are pierced with a small hole at the top of the detachable covers, for the protruding wicks. A pierced star of David is affixed to the top of the center baluster-formed stem.
This Iraqi silver Shabbat candlestick holder represents the artistic heritage and cultural identity of the Iraqi Jewish community in the early 20th century. It serves as a historical artifact, illustrating the lifestyle and religious practices of Iraqi Jews during that period and the rich traditions and skilled craftsmanship of the Iraqi Jewish community.
