Antique silver chanukiah with floral relief made of 800 silver

This rare silver chanukiah represents an exceptional testament to Jewish craftsmanship from the period preceding the First World War, from the era of Emperor Wilhelm II. It is an authentic antique that carries within it the history of the German Jewish community and bears witness to the rich traditions of Judaism in Central Europe. The chanukiah is executed in a classic symmetrical arrangement with eight candleholders for each night of the Chanukah holiday.

The entire candelabrum rests on a robust, richly decorated base with relief plant motifs typical of artistic craftsmanship at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The central column is decorated with a distinctive vegetal ornament featuring a rose motif symbolizing abundance and blessing. The arms of the candelabrum elegantly extend to the sides in harmonious arches with delicate floral reliefs, each candleholder ending with a chalice-shaped candle socket with a decorative pattern. The top of the chanukiah is crowned by the Star of David, adding spiritual dimension and religious significance to the whole piece. The naturally developed silver patina testifies to the authentic historical character of this valuable collector’s item.
