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...

19th Century Iraqi Silver Hanukkah Lamp Menorah
Located in New York, NY
Handcut strips of silver that have been bent into curvilinear shapes, with semicircle of candle-sockets, complete with drip-pans. A cast-made pair of birds, appearing to be ducks or geese, flank the servant light, while at top as the finial, a large casting of a hen or rooster.
While this overall form of lamp is known as hailing from Iraq, we cannot locate any other Iraqi lamps featuring the animals displayed on our example. Birds such as peacocks were widely used in Iraqi and other Middle-Eastern and North African Chanukah lamps, however the usage of the animals featured on our lamp likely have more to do with the surrounding Islamic culture than revealing any meaning in Judaism, which is typical overall for many motifs found on Jewish ritual...

A Pewter and Copper Mezuzah Case by Shalom Bodner, United States 20th Century
Located in New York, NY
A Refined Pewter and Copper Mezuzah Case made by Shalom Bodner, in the United States in the 20th Century.
Shalom Bodner (1932-) Born in Czechoslovakia, Bodner immigrated to Israel in 1949. He studied painting and sculpture at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem and continued his studies at the Grande Chaumiere in Paris. In 1979 Bodner came to the United States where he pursued a career in jewelry and Judaica.
He has been a painter for over forty years and has been exhibited throughout Israel, Europe, and South America.
Each item he creates is individually hand-crafted from mixed media which includes silver, brass, copper, bronze, and lead-free pewter.
A must-have for any Judaica Collector; this unique Mezuzah case is truly eclectic, made by a person who lived in many parts of the world, and his creativity is derived from those places.
This mezuzah is not made in the general fashion of one solid piece rather three separate ones and when combined makes a fabulous designed casing.
The top of the mezuzah case is decorated with a hamza and foliate scrolling and is inserted through its center cylindrical copper shaft to secure the scroll within. the center is beautifully embossed with foliate borders
Surrounding the center "Shin" are the words "Shema Yisroel" spelled forward...

Early 20th Century Shabbat Table Cover from Jerusalem
Located in New York, NY
Folk Art Shabbat table cover, Jerusalem, circa 1900.
Embroidered at the four corners with the holy places for Jews in Israel, and with the wailing wall at the center.
The Hebrew rectangular text is a traditional song sung by Jews every Friday night upon returning home from synagogue prayer. It signals the arrival of the Jewish Sabbath, welcoming the angels who accompany a person home on the eve of the Sabbath.
The words to the song translate as follows:
Peace be with you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High,
Messengers of the King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.
Come in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,
Messengers of the King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.
Bless me with peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,
Messengers of the King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.
Go in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,

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...
