About the Item
North African cast brass Hanukkah Lamp Menorah, mid 19th century
There are two sources for the triangular, small-scaled Hanukkah lamp, one in Spain, the other in Sicily. This lamp represents the prototype from Sicily, which migrated as far as Morocco in the south and Poland in the north.
In Morocco, the pointed, plain European tendrils were exchanged for rounded, ornate oriental tendrils, and the round oil fonts with truncated spouts were converted into four wide rectangular pans with eight tapering spouts.
In Poland, the oil fonts were converted into candle sockets, and the basic triangular shape evolved into something resembling a miniature piece of furniture.
This particular Hanukkah Lamp rests on its base which is the wide rectangular pans with eight tapering pointed spouts.
The backplate is made solid at the bottom and the top has circular rail scrolling cast designs topped by the protruding single-pointed pan serving as the servant lamp attached at its tip.
