Vintage German Silver Torah Breastplate Circa 1950
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A fine and impressive vintage German silver Torah breastplate; an addition to our Judaica silverware collection.
This exceptional vintage German 800 standard silver Torah breastplate has a circular shaped form.
The surface of the breastplate is ornamented with embossed and engraved elements depicting the pillars of Solomon's Temple surmounted with lions of Judah supporters grasping a coronet design.
The centre of the breastplate bears a central design modelled in the form of the Tablets of Stone*, surmounting a plaque bearing a Hebrew engraved inscription 'שבתק'.
The body of this exceptional silver breastplate is embellished with a broad embossed scrolling foliate decorated border, accented with three silver bells to the lower edge.
The piece is suspended from two linked chains, conjoining to the centre of the upper border with a ring loop.
The hallmarks struck to the surface of this torah shield include:
Silver quality/purity mark: .800 (800/1000)
National mark: Crescent moon and crown
A silver Torah breastplate is a meaningful ceremonial gift, often donated to a synagogue to commemorate significant occasions such as a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, wedding, birth, anniversary, or in memory of a loved one. It also serves to honour esteemed rabbis or community leaders, symbolising enduring respect and spiritual legacy.
* The Tablets of Stone (Hebrew: לוּחֹת הַבְּרִית Luchot HaBrit - 'the tablets [of] the covenant') can be found in the Hebrew Bible, Exodus 34:1. These were the two pieces of stone inscribed by Moses on Mount Sinai, with the Ten Commandments; later in Exodus they are referenced to as Tablets of the Testimony.
NOTE: The breastplate (Hebrew: ḥoshen mishpat) can be categorised as both a Torah ornament and Jewish ceremonial art. They are functional ornamental metal plates/shields which are suspended in front of the Torah scroll.
In the 17th century the breastplate was classically square or rectangular, however in the 18th century this developed to become more rounded with decorative borders. Further embellishments such as bells and small dedicatory plaques were suspended from the lower edge. These design features were influenced by the Torah Ark (Hebrew: aron kodesh...

'Breakfast at Tiffany's' Original Vintage US Lobby Card Movie Poster, 1961
By Robert E. McGinnis
Located in Devon, GB
Lobby Cards were designed for display in a cinema lobby to lure the movie-going public. Typically released in sets of 8, each card depicted a different scene from the film. This charming US lobby card for 'Breakfast At Tiffany's,' number 7 of the set, depicts Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly and George Peppard as Paul Varjak sipping coffee against a backdrop of Manhattan. Featuring a miniature version of Robert McGinnis' iconic artwork used for the US insert, the lobby cards offer a bit of Tiffany's magic at a more affordable price point than the larger and highly sought after US Campaign posters.
Holly Golightly would be Audrey Hepburn’s defining role, establishing her status as one of the greatest screen legends and style icons of all time. It seems unbelievable now that Truman Capote, author of the novella on which the movie was based, had his heart set on Marilyn Monroe for the part. Monroe pulled out of the running when her acting coach advised her not to play a lady of the night...
