About the Item
A Silver and Leather Bezalel Book Binding from Israel circa 1940 is an important piece of Judaica. Bezalel, the name associated with the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem, is known for its significant contributions to Jewish art and craftsmanship in the early 20th century.
The Bezalel School was founded in 1906 by Boris Schatz in Jerusalem. It aimed to blend European artistic traditions with Middle Eastern and Jewish themes. By the 1930s, the Bezalel School had established a reputation for high-quality, handcrafted Judaica that incorporated traditional Jewish motifs and modern design elements.
A Bible printed by a publishing company in London, Great Britain in 1932 is bound within an original brown leather binding. Vine, grape cluster motifs, two winged lions flanking a crowned Decalogue, and a flaming Ner Tamid are beautifully acid etched on the silver cartouche applied to the front cover. Four roundels with floral filigree scrolling are embellished at the corners with the words "Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim" written in Hebrew on the Decalogue and "Bezalel, Jerusalem" below.
The craftsmanship and materials used indicate that the book was likely a prized possession, used for significant religious observances or special occasions.
Judaica items from the Bezalel School are highly valued for their artistic merit and historical context.
The blend of traditional Jewish themes with the innovative designs of the Bezalel School makes these pieces particularly significant.
Marked at the lower end of the silver cartouche at the front.
