Early 20th Century English Silver Hanukkah Lamp
About the Item
Standing Hanukkah lamp made in London, England, 1926. Stamped and marked with English silver hallmarks for 1926, London. In the center stands the “Lion of Judah,” a pair of recumbent lions raised on pedestals, carrying the Ten Commandments, topped with a Torah crown. The silver base stands prominently joined by three tiers to exude an elevated appearance.
The Hanukkah lamp commemorates the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth, shamash, stands in the center to serve as a help candle used to light the others from right to left. The Temple’s menorah, one of its most important ritual objects, burning for one day instead, the flame stayed alight for eight days, until a new supply of oil could be found, which made this the basis for the festival of lights celebration of Hanukkah.
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.
