A Silver Mezuzah Case Attributed to David Heinz Gumbel c. 1950

About the Item

This elegant silver mezuzah case, attributed to renowned Israeli silversmith David Heinz Gumbel, exemplifies his signature modernist approach. The case features a square design with a large prominent, sculptural Hebrew letter "Shin" (ש) extending outward and upward, creating a striking focal point against the hand-hammered texture of the front panel. The casing is designed with functionality in mind, as the front panel slides seamlessly into the back, securely housing a mezuzah scroll within. Combining timeless simplicity with refined craftsmanship, this mezuzah case is a beautiful representation of mid-20th-century Judaica design. Marked on the reverse side of the Mezuzah case. 2.12ozt
