About the Item

Jewish candelabra completely handmade in solid 800 silver. The round base is raised from the support surface with 4 feet made with the casting technique and is finely embossed and engraved with flower and acanthus leaf motifs. The shaft is in embossed and chiseled sheet with the same design as the base. The arms of the candelabra are cast, chiseled and end with 9 wax/oil holders, one of which is removable and smooth. All are finished with small lids. The small amphora for oil is smooth with a round base. Made in Milan - Italy by the silversmith's workshop "L'artigiano di Milano" in the late 80s The Hanukkah menorah, also chanukiah or hanukkiah is a nine-branched candelabrum lit during the eight-day holiday of Hanukkah, as opposed to the seven-branched menorah used in the ancient Temple or as a symbol. On each night of Hanukkah, a new branch is lit. The ninth holder, called the Shamash ("helper" or "servant"), is for a candle used to light all other candles or to be used as an extra light. To be kosher, the Shamash must be offset on a higher or lower plane than the main eight candles or oil lamps, but there are differing opinions as to whether all the lights must be arranged in a straight line, or if the channukiah can be arranged in a curve. The hanukkiah, along with the seven-branched menorah and the Star of David, is among the most widely produced articles of Jewish ceremonial.
