A Silver Hanukkah Lamp By Bier, Israel Circa 1950

About the Item

This Silver Hanukkah Lamp by Bier from Israel circa 1950 connects one to the rich traditions, symbolism, and artistic achievements of Israeli Judaica craftsmanship. Bier is a prominent name in Israeli silversmithing, known for producing high-quality Judaica items. Their work often blends traditional Jewish motifs with modern design elements. Israeli silversmiths like Bier played crucial roles in reviving and innovating Judaica art while drawing inspiration from ancient traditions. Made of sterling silver, this Hanukkah lamp incorporates pierced artwork in place of a solid backplate with the Hebrew words " These Candles Are Holy" set on the attached bar. The stepped cylindrical cups and servant lamp are fitted into circular settings pierced into the flat bar that is bent at both ends and serves as the support for the Hanukkah lamp. This design emphasizes both functionality and aesthetic beauty, suitable for use in Jewish homes and synagogues. Hanukkah lamps from renowned Israeli silversmiths like Bier are highly valued both for their craftsmanship and their historical significance. They are sought after by collectors of Judaica art and those interested in preserving Jewish cultural heritage.

A Silver Hanukkah Lamp , Germany Circa 1930
Located in New York, NY
A Unique Silver Arts and Crafts Hanukkah Lamp, made in Germany Circa 1930. This Hanukkah Lamp is truly unique and has a few different styles of craftmanship and designs that make up its structure. Seemingly this menorah looks to be made for children. The shaft and the base are remarkably executed. the light hammering on the base referenced the Arts and Crafts movement while the shaft is designed in an Art Deco fashion. However, the cut-out pattern of the palm leaves and the engraved Stars of David are of a lower standard; the engraving in particular is sloppy and crude. Yet the cups and the finial and the small bells at the end of the leaves are well done- the balls cite the influence of the Secession, yet another art trend. Whatever may be for the apparent contradiction in the quality of workmanship, this is an interesting Rarity. Hallmarked and signed at the bottom of the hammered base.
