The Papercut Megillah, cutout parchment Esther scroll, handmade, in a limited amount of copies. Published by Or Editions, Baltimore (USA), [21st century], Copy No. 18/180.
Esther scroll, handsome scribal writing on high-quality parchment sheets. The margins are decorated with exquisite cutout designs. Whereas usually, Esther scrolls are adorned with vegetal decorations, this scroll has complex detailed decorations depicting figures and dozens of scenes from the Book of Esther: the figure of Queen Esther, Ahasuerus' banquet, Esther's and Ahasuerus' wedding, etc. The upper margins of the scroll are adorned with animal figures. The cutout designs were done according to an Esther Scroll originating in Holland, apparently from the 17th century. The scroll has an ivory-like handle. The back of the scroll is covered with red silk fabric. Placed in an elaborate case.
Parchment height: 24 cm. Good condition. The bottom part of the handle is broken.

Hanukkah lamp. [Possibly France, 19th century].
Cast and embossed silver. Marked (rooster hallmark); maker's mark: Fraget.
Gate-shaped lamp. The entire structure surmounts four animal paws spread to the sides; at the top of each paw are two animal heads. Frame featuring large fowl and floral decorations. Near the column bases are the oil fonts, shaped as rectangular, removable small boxes, with pyramidal lids topped by wick tubes.
Behind the fonts, a pair of massive pillars supports the ceiling, on which stand a pair of lions and a vase with flowers and acorns. The shamash and an oil jug are suspended from the ceiling by bent silver threads.
Suspended at the bottom of the oil jug is a ring with a bird in its center. Missing a peacock-shaped decoration between the two pillars.
The Polish Fraget company was founded by the French brothers Joseph and Alphonse Fraget in 1824; around 1845, Alphonse left the company and returned to France. It is possible that this lamp was made by Alphonse Fraget in France, ca. mid-19th century.
Length: 33 cm, maximum width: 23.5 cm. Good condition. Missing peacock decoration between the two pillars.
