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.
