Chanuka Menorah. Hallmarked silver, Berlin. Beginning of the 19th century
Chanuka menorah, silver with hallmarks. Berlin, 1804-1815
Description: Nice backplate menorah. Repousse and chasing. Two marks. Blurred maker's mark.
Maximal height: 13.5 cm. Width: 12.5 cm. Thickness: 70 cm.
The front is engraved with rococo scrolls and shellwork. The body of the menorah is shaped like a rectangular box that is divided into eight compartments. Each compartment has a small, protruding tongue holding a small cylinder to support the wick. The compartments are covered by a hinged lid with floral engraving. The right side of the backplate bears a tall shamash, apparently not original. The Menorah stands on four triangular legs, decorated with leaves.
Background: This type of Menorah was designed according to the popular Frankfurt Menorahs of the 18th century. The different designs were created in workshops in Hanau, Franken and Schwaben, but their decorations and metalwork are more primitive than the ones created by the Frankfurt silversmiths.
Refer to the catalogue of the Jewish Museum London, item 239, for a similar item.
Condition: Very fine.
