A Silver Shabbat Candelabra, Austria Circa 1925

About the Item

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 and the modernist aesthetic popular in Austria during the 1920s. Judaica items from Austria in the early 20th century are highly valued for their artistic merit and historical context. The blend of traditional Jewish symbolism with the modernist design of the period adds to the candelabra’s significance. It represents the rich traditions of Jewish ritual, combined with the high-quality craftsmanship and artistic innovation of Austrian silversmiths. Hallmarked at the side of each section of the candelabra. 33.15ozt
