Antique Judaica Silver Menorah with engraved initials Wien C.M.v.R 19th century
About the Item
This is an incredibly finely made and one of a kind silver 875 Hanukkah Menorah. Extremely detailed and intricate, it has an eagle on the top, two Stars of David on the left and right as well as ornaments of flowers on the branches on both sides. It’s a nine branched menorah,- eight of the nine branches hold lights which symbolise the eight nights of the holiday, on each night, one more light is lit than the previous night, until on the final night all eight branches are inflamed. The ninth branch holds a candle, called the shamash ( translated “helper" or "servant"), which is used to light the other eight lights.
This wonderful Menorah was many years in private collection in Vienna, Austria. In the middle of it there is an engraving of personal initials C.M.v.R and Wien (translated from German language -Vienna ). We assumed that the letters C.M.v.R stand for Carl Mayer von Rothschild,-born in 1788 in Germany, Frankfurt am Main, member of a famous prosperous family. After he trained in his father's banking business, during Austrian Army’s Nepals (Italy) occupation in 1821, he was sent to Naples to establish Rothschild’s banking branches where he died in 1855. Presumably this special Menorah was
given as a present to one of Rothschilds family members in Vienna as a memory and honor of one of the first Rothschilds who was granted the title of baron (or Freiherr ) by Kaiser Franz I of Austria in Vienna in 1822.
The Menorah comes with a beautiful marble pedestal.

While this overall form of lamp is known as hailing from Iraq, we cannot locate any other Iraqi lamps featuring the animals displayed on our example. Birds such as peacocks were widely used in Iraqi and other Middle-Eastern and North African Chanukah lamps, however the usage of the animals featured on our lamp likely have more to do with the surrounding Islamic culture than revealing any meaning in Judaism, which is typical overall for many motifs found on Jewish ritual...
