A Silver Polish Hanukkah Lamp, Circa 1920

About the Item

This elegant Polish Hanukkah menorah is a striking embodiment of minimalist design infused with timeless reverence. Crafted in polished silver, its clean, geometric lines convey a quiet sophistication. The menorah rises from a distinctive octagonal, teardrop-shaped base—both sculptural and stable—lending a graceful foundation to the piece. Eight gently arched branches extend upward in perfectly symmetrical curves, each supporting a circular oil cup that enhances the menorah's modern yet traditional character. At the center, the shamash stands slightly taller than the rest, subtly elevated and designed to be removable, symbolizing its role as the guiding light with purposeful distinction. Refined yet deeply rooted in heritage, this menorah blends simplicity with symbolism, making it a meaningful centerpiece for the Festival of Lights and a work of art in its own right. Hallmarked on the side of the lower base. 4.62ozt

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.
