About the Item

This iron Hanukkah lamp, crafted in Germany in the 1920s, is a remarkable example of the Arts and Crafts movement’s aesthetic and emphasis on handcrafted artistry. The piece features a central stem with gracefully arched arms extending outward, each holding a platform for candles, representing the eight days of Hanukkah and the shamash (the ninth candle used to light the others). The design is characterized by its elegant simplicity and functional craftsmanship, key elements of the Arts and Crafts ethos. Notable details include the braided, intertwined ironwork at the base of the central stem, demonstrating skilled metalworking techniques, and the sturdy tripod stand, which provides balance and stability to the piece. The branches exhibit a natural, flowing curvature, emphasizing organic forms typical of the period’s style. The lamp’s minimalist yet intricate design merges traditional Jewish ceremonial use with modern artistic trends of the early 20th century, making it a significant cultural and historical artifact. 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.

For another example, see page 296 of the book “Five Centuries of Hanukkah Lamps...
