A Wilton Star of David Menorah

About the Item

A sculptural Hanukkah lamp crafted by Wilton Armetale, this piece is made from the company’s signature cast aluminum alloy, known for its durability and silvery sheen. The menorah stands on a rectangular stepped base, which provides solid support and elevates the geometric, modernist composition above. The centerpiece of the design is a large, openwork Star of David, boldly pierced into the structure’s center. This symbolic motif doubles as the visual and structural heart of the lamp. The star is mounted on three stylized legs, giving the piece a balanced and architectural presence. Extending from the top arms of the star are eight evenly spaced, recessed candle holders, designed to hold the Hanukkah candles in a clean, linear arrangement. At center, a slightly raised ninth socket serves as the shamash—the servant candle used to light the others—emphasizing its central liturgical role. This menorah blends mid-century American design sensibilities with enduring Jewish symbolism, and reflects the era’s interest in functional Judaica with contemporary aesthetics. With its modern form and traditional roots, it is both a meaningful ritual object and a stylish decorative statement.
