About the Item
Very rare and important Austrian silver, from its golden age of the late 19th century to the early 20th century, this Hanukah lamp is hand with chased draped proscenium enclosing a peacock in display, fronted by a rack of lamps on openwork shell and leaves shaped feet, the rack of lamps marked with maker’s mark JK, this Hanukah Lamp comes from a unique group of Austrian lamps, produced in the late nineteenth through early twentieth century, bears a three-dimensional figure of a peacock set within a frame, as if on the stage. The significance of the peacock in this context is unclear. The bird, has taken on a variety of meanings throughout the ages and in different cultures. In antiquity it was a symbol of immortality and resurrection, In many cultures the peacock is a symbol of beauty, the soul, and even of light. While the last named association seems most appropriate for a Hanukkah lamp, and one can imagine how beautifully the Hanukkah lights would reflect in the peacock's spread tail.
beyond the actuall lights there is a hidden engraved inscription that says : " presented by confirmation class 1964" it was presented to a rabbi by the original family who brought it from Austria in the early 20th century.
