About the Item

This rare and authentic pair of 18th-century Polish candle holders embodies the rustic yet deeply symbolic craftsmanship of Jewish shtetls in Eastern Europe. Made of brass with traces of original silvering, these pieces exhibit a well-worn patina, reflecting centuries of use in Jewish homes and religious observances. Their construction is simple yet elegant, with turned baluster shafts and a distinctive, slightly asymmetrical base. The presence of old hand-forged screws securing the feet further attests to their early manufacture and practical use over time. These candle holders stand as evocative relics of a bygone world, bearing witness to the intimate spiritual and cultural life of Eastern European Jewry. Every item in Menorah Galleries is accompanied by a Lifetime Certificate of Authenticity and additional documentation and information regarding the individual artifact and its culture.
