About the Item

This striking Art Deco copper menorah, crafted in Austria in 1925, is a masterful fusion of modernist aesthetics and Jewish tradition. The menorah’s backplate features a bold, geometric stepped design, reminiscent of the architectural style of the era, leading up to a hand-cut Star of David at its center. The symmetrical, angular silhouette embodies the streamlined elegance and machine-inspired precision characteristic of Art Deco design, while still maintaining the warmth of traditional hand craftsmanship. The menorah is constructed from hand-cut copper, giving it an organic yet industrial feel, enhanced by the naturally aged patina. The eight oil-cup holders are arranged in a straight row along the base, each featuring concentric, tiered rings, adding depth and texture to the otherwise minimalistic structure. The shamash, slightly protruding forward, serves as the focal point, subtly breaking the linear symmetry and emphasizing its ritual function. The two elegantly curved supports at the base not only provide stability but also introduce a softer, almost sculptural element that contrasts with the angularity of the stepped upper portion. This menorah is featured in Five Centuries of Hanukkah Lamps from The Jewish Museum, New York (2004), appearing as item 315 on page 270. Its combination of traditional symbolism and avant-garde design reflects the evolving artistic sensibilities of the early 20th century, making it a significant piece in both Jewish and design history.

Early 19th Century Polish Brass Hanukkah Lamp Menorah

Located in New York, NY

Brass Hanukkah lamp Menorah, Poland, circa 1810. Cast in Bench form, on four feet. The backplate is cast and pierced featuring scrollwork. This lamp was made by the technique known as "sand casting". This process begins with a wooden mold that was carved out to create negative space, which in turn is used to make the inverse form or shape to be used for the casting of metal. The mold is pressed into fine sand mixed with clay, then removed, and molten brass poured into the impression. When a mold wears out, a casting from that mold is often used as the mold for the next generation. Those later lamps...
