About the Item
An Unusual Silver Filigree Mezuzah Case made in Israel, Circa 1950.
Very unusual Mezuzah case made almost entirely of filigree in the shape of a tall Torah scroll with a crown applied to the top. Mezuzah cases are usually made in a solid shape to protect the inner scroll within, this one is slightly transparent as you are able to see the entire scroll inside through the filigree designs.
Filigree work on this Mezuzah case is stunning in a foliate-scrolled manner with smaller filigree scrolling within almost as if the Torah scrolls were covered in a foliage canopy. A pierced letter "Shin" is applied to the front of the mezuzah case as is commonly seen on Mezuzah cases.
The Spanish-looking filigree crown at the top has a similar design in the three arches with applied circular filigree encasing black stones in between them and the lower band is mounted with silver beads encircled by filigree borders on eye-formed plaques.
A hanging ring is applied to the monde of the crown and a loop is pierced into the flat triangular base below for hanging purposes.
Marked and signed "RC" on the lower back of the mezuzah case

A Silver Mezuzah Case by Bezalel, Jerusalem Circa 1920
Located in New York, NY
A silver mezuzah case made by Bezalel in Jerusalem circa 1920 is a significant piece of Judaica, representing a fusion of traditional Jewish motifs and early 20th-century design. The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts played a crucial role in the development of Jewish art in the modern era, and items produced by its artists are highly prized.
The Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts was Founded by Boris Schatz in Jerusalem, the school aimed to create a new Jewish art form that combined European techniques with Middle Eastern and Jewish themes. Jerusalem in the 1920s was marked by significant growth and development in the Jewish community, with an emphasis on cultural and artistic expression. The Bezalel School played a pivotal role in this cultural renaissance.
Mezuzah case is fashioned in Silver repoussé at the top and bottom in a gadroon design and the center is framed with a beaded pattern. A prominent letter "Shin" in a circle band with "Jerusalem" written below it in Hebrew among diamond-shaped and swirl motifs adorn the front of the case.
