Late 18th Century German Silver Hanukkah Lamp

About the Item

A late 18th century German silver Hanukkah lamp. This magnificent Hanukkah lamp has a shaped rococo cartouche backplate, chased with a swag of flowers and arched edges. The rectangle box containing the eight candle holders stands on four bracket feet, with leaf and twig stem adorning its cover. A servant light rises tall from the backplate, and can be deconstructed from its holder on the back. The maker's mark A.G. Berlin is marked on the lamp's backplate, as well as a Prussian control mark c.1810.

  • Late 18th Century Earthenware Hanukkah Lamp, Djerba, Tunisia
    Located in New York, NY
    A rare, late 18th century earthenware Hanukkah lamp from Djerba, Tunisia. Rectangular in shape, the Hanukkah lamp is supported by two legs. The oil fonts take the form of eight small recesses, with pinched edges on one side for wicks. Apparently, a servant light (now missing) was placed in the upper part of the lamp. This is a particularly rare and early specimen. In all likelihood, this model – undocumented in the literature – represents a missing link between the stone lamps used in North Africa and the more familiar earthenware lamps of Tunisia, which are generally glazed in a greenish hue (in similar fashion to the present lamp). But in the latter group, the oil fonts are elevated, that is, supported on top of small columns, and are similar in design to ancient earthenware...

  • 18th Century Polish Brass Hanukkah Lamp
    Located in New York, NY
    The backplate is cast and pierced with a central two-handled vase of flowers, flanked by fully formed birds with their heads turned outward. The side panels fitted with two servant lights, fronted by a row of eight oil fonts. Scholars theorize that these Polish Chanukah Lamps that bear two servant lights (as opposed to the singular servant light normally found on a Chanukah Lamp), served a purpose, having been used on one of the days that Chanukah fell on the Sabbath, as Sabbath Candlesticks. For another example, see page 296 of the book “Five Centuries of Hanukkah Lamps...
