Mario Buccellati, Italian Mid-Century Sterling Silver Hanukkah Menorah, ca. 1950

About the Item

Italian Mid-Century Mario Buccellati Hanukkah Menorah Sterling Silver Circa 1950s DIMENSIONS Height: 18.25 inches Width: 16 inches Weight: 87 ozt (2700 g) DETAILS Hallmarked “Mario Buccellati, 925°, 15 MI’ ABOUT THE MENORAH This stunning Chanukah menorah is a remarkable fusion of tradition and classical design, crafted in the style of a Classical Greek Revival nine-branched candelabrum. Drawing inspiration from the grandeur of the Classical era, the menorah features a square base, atop which rises a majestic Corinthian column. The column is adorned with intricate volute motifs, scrolling foliage, and detailed scrollwork, culminating in nine oil lamps. A detachable servant light rests atop, and the base is elegantly finished with a chased cedar cone-shaped finial. The Corinthian order, developed in the 5th century BCE, is celebrated for its ornate beauty and refinement. Known for its slender, fluted shaft and elaborate capital, the Corinthian column is the most luxurious of the classical styles, with its intricate acanthus leaf and scroll carvings. Its proportions, traditionally defined as nine diameters to the column’s total height, embody a sense of opulence. The capital, richly ornamented with leaf and floral motifs, evokes the Mediterranean landscapes where these designs originated. LITERATURE For an illustration of a similar menorah see: M. Corgnati, "Mario Buccellati, Prince of Goldsmiths", Rizzoli, New York, 1998, p. 141 ABOUT MAKER Founded in Milan in 1919 by Mario Buccellati, the Maison has become synonymous with unmatched craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
