About the Item
This silver adjustable Hanukkah candelabra from Iraq circa 1900 is a unique and historically significant piece of Judaica. This type of menorah reflects both the religious practices and the artistic traditions of the Jewish community in Iraq combining practical design, religious significance, and exquisite craftsmanship. during that period.
The Jewish community in Iraq, particularly in Baghdad, was well-established with a rich cultural heritage. This community was known for its skilled artisans and craftsmen. Jewish silversmiths in Iraq often produced religious items that were both functional and artistic. The menorah was designed to be suspended from the wall or a high point, which was a practical solution in homes with limited surface space adding an element of grandeur and visibility to prominently display the menorah during Hanukkah.
Menorah is set on a broad conical-shaped base, with three protruding rings at its edge used for hanging purposes with a trophy stem affixed with a rotating mechanism that swivels outward to hold the upper portion of the Menorah when attached to a wall surface. Teardrop-shaped upper main body holds the eight removable branches with saucer bobeches and circular candleholders. The servant lamp is applied to an elongated ring mounted atop the center of the upper body.
A candelabra such as this is a rare and valuable artifact, offering insights into the religious practices and daily life of Iraqi Jews around 1900. It reflects both the religious devotion and the artistic talents of the Jewish community in Iraq.

View AllA Silver Shabbat Candelabra, Austria Circa 1925
Located in New York, NY
An elegant silver Shabbat candelabra from Austria circa 1925 is an impressive piece of Judaica, blending the cultural and artistic heritage of Jewish traditions with the craftsmanship of early 20th-century Austrian silversmiths.
The early 20th century in Austria was a period of artistic innovation, with the influence of the Vienna Secession movement, which emphasized modernist design and craftsmanship. Jewish communities in Austria had a rich tradition of creating and using beautifully crafted ritual objects for religious observance.
Candelabra is set on a shaped stepped dome, part-fluted with a cylindrical stem capped by a similar floral-shaped dome. The branches for the candelabra artistically stem from an intertwined center and curve stylishly outward to hold the bobeches for the beaker-shaped cups. A pierced Star of David rests on top of the bell finial applied to the center stem. This design reflects a blend of traditional Jewish themes...

19th Century Iraqi Silver Hanukkah Lamp Menorah
Located in New York, NY
Handcut strips of silver that have been bent into curvilinear shapes, with semicircle of candle-sockets, complete with drip-pans. A cast-made pair of birds, appearing to be ducks or geese, flank the servant light, while at top as the finial, a large casting of a hen or rooster.
While this overall form of lamp is known as hailing from Iraq, we cannot locate any other Iraqi lamps featuring the animals displayed on our example. Birds such as peacocks were widely used in Iraqi and other Middle-Eastern and North African Chanukah lamps, however the usage of the animals featured on our lamp likely have more to do with the surrounding Islamic culture than revealing any meaning in Judaism, which is typical overall for many motifs found on Jewish ritual...
