Description
A vintage brass Judaica Hanukkah menorah, particularly a wall-mounted version, is a unique and beautiful piece of ceremonial art often associated with Jewish traditions, specifically the celebration of Hanukkah. These menorahs are used to hold candles lit during the eight days of the Hanukkah festival, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem.
Key features of a vintage brass wall-mounted menorah:
-
Material: Brass is a common material for Judaica items, known for its durability and aesthetic appeal. It often develops a rich patina over time, adding to the vintage charm.
-
Design: Wall-mounted menorahs are unique in their structure, designed to be hung on a wall rather than placed on a table. This could include intricate details, such as symbols of Jewish heritage, floral patterns, or geometric motifs.
-
Candles or Oil Cups: The menorah would have nine holders, one for each night of Hanukkah plus the central shamash (helper candle) used to light the others. Some menorahs hold traditional wax candles, while others might be designed for oil cups.
Dimensions: Length: 7 in. Width: 2 in. Height: 6 3/4 in.
