Pair of Italian Silver Shabbat Candle Sconces – 800 Silver, Ornate Rococo Design
About the Item
This stunning pair of antique Jewish Shabbat candle sconces is crafted from 800 silver and marked with Italian hallmarks, suggesting expert European silversmithing. Each sconce features an opulent Rococo-style design, characterized by its elaborate asymmetrical curves, floral motifs, and scrolling acanthus leaves. The central shield-shaped plaque, with a lightly hammered texture, prominently bears the Hebrew inscription "שבת קדש" ("Shabbat Kodesh"), meaning "Holy Shabbat," in raised, elegant lettering.
Surrounding the inscription is an elaborate silver framework adorned with intricate repoussé work, curling volutes, and delicate floral embellishments, all contributing to a sense of movement and fluidity. The candle arms extend outward in gracefully curved branches, each ending in an ornate, leaf-adorned bobeche that holds a candle socket with decorative molding. At the bottom, a stylized shell and scroll motif adds further elegance and depth to the composition, reinforcing the Baroque and Rococo influences.
The sconces are mounted on a wooden backing, ensuring stability when affixed to the wall. The Italian silver hallmarks, along with the 800 silver stamp, confirm the high quality of the craftsmanship. Likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this pair of Judaica sconces serves as both a functional ritual item and an exquisite example of decorative silver artistry, making it a rare and valuable addition to any Judaica or antique silver collection.
