Hanukkah lamp. [Italy, probably first half of the 19th century].
Cast brass; brass sheet.
Hanukkah lamp meant to be hung on a wall. Made of a plate of sheet brass, to which ornaments made of cast brass – a large arch and a pair of architectonic columns – are screwed on. The row of rectangular oil fonts, with long, pinched, pointed spouts for the wicks, is attached to the bottom of the back plate and serves as the base for the lamp. Five of the oil fonts have special accessories for the wicks. No servant light.
Height: 31.5 cm. Width: 21.5 cm. Good condition. Minor blemishes to back. Three oil fonts lack special accessories for the wicks.
