About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George V English sterling silver spice tower, an addition to our silver Judaica collection.
This exceptional antique George V sterling silver spice box has been modeled in the form of a tower.
The cuboid shaped spice box is ornamented with exceptional silver filigree work within a plain arched frame.
This impressive vessel is fitted with a hinged door accented with a plain, hallmarked finger piece.
The upper portion of this impressive sterling silver spice tower is embellished with four gargoyle figurines encompassing a knopped tapering chute.
The tower's chute is ornamented with wrigglework decoration and terminating with a large ball style knop to a hallmarked undulating guidon shaped flag.
The spice compartment supports four hallmarked sterling silver bells and surmounts a knopped pedestal foot.
This antique spice tower, crafted by the Judaic silversmith Jacob Rozenzweig of Rosenzweig, Taitelbaum & Co, is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.
A spice box is used to hold sweet-smelling herbs/spices and can be fashioned in many forms. As of the 16th century a very common form is that of a tower, influenced by developments in architecture. The spice tower is used to bring comfort to a Jew as they transition through Sabbath to their new week, receiving their extra soul known as a 'neshama yetera'.
