Delicate Silver Hanukkah Lamp - Brno, Moravia, 1826
Hanukkah lamp. Brno, Moravia, 1826. Silver (marked, maker: TR or JR), embossed and sawn. Delicate Hanukkah lamp, shaped as a bench with four legs whose lower ends are shaped as leaves. The back plate shows a pair of lions in a natural posture, their front paws on a vase from which the shamash emerges. The oil fonts are shaped as small oval bowls that grow narrower towards the front. At their end is a stem for placing the wick. A similar lamp, made by the same artist, is in the collection of the Jewish Museum in New York, no. M 384 (and see item 395 in the museum's collection). Length: 12.5 cm, width: 20.5 cm. The tail of the right lion is broken and missing. The shamash is slightly bent. See: Five Centuries of Hanukkah Lamps From The Jewish Museum, A Catalogue Raisonne, by Susan L. Braunstein (New York, 2004), pp. 148, 291.
