Pair of Cast Brass Hanukkah Menorahs for Father and Son by Oppenheim, Israel
About the Item
This elegant pair of brass Hanukkah menorahs, produced in 1950 by Oppenheim in Israel, exemplifies the high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of mid-20th-century Judaica. Designed as a matching set for father and son, these menorahs symbolize the transmission of Jewish tradition across generations.
The menorahs feature an intricate filigree-style openwork design, with swirling arabesques and floral motifs adorning the arms and base. The symmetrical, curved branches rise from a slender, tapered stem, creating a visually harmonious and balanced structure. The base is particularly elaborate, with a circular cutout pattern resembling a radiant sunburst, encircled by scrolling vines and geometric embellishments. A subtle Greek key motif adds a classical touch to the design.
At the bottom of the menorahs, the Hebrew phrase "הנרות הללו קודש הם" (These candles are sacred) is engraved, emphasizing their ritual significance in the celebration of Hanukkah. The openwork detailing allows light to pass through, enhancing the play of shadows and giving the menorahs an ethereal quality when candles are lit.
With their exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance, these menorahs serve as both sacred objects and remarkable examples of Israeli Judaica from the mid-20th century.

18th Century Galician Brass Hanukkah Lamp Menorah
Located in New York, NY
Cast brass Hanukkah Lamp, Galicia, 18th century.
The backplate is cast and pierced featuring dense scrollwork. 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.
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...
