About the Item
This exquisite European brass tabletop shtender, dating to circa 1900, is a masterful blend of craftsmanship and functionality, designed to enhance both study and spiritual reflection. Its striking openwork foliate designs lend an air of elegance and intricacy, while a prominently featured Star of David at the center adds a meaningful and symbolic touch.
The shtender’s structure is meticulously crafted, with the back stand and lower book holder mirroring the delicate openwork foliate motifs, ensuring a cohesive and visually harmonious design. Resting upon a sturdy square base supported by four gracefully shaped legs, this piece balances both stability and artistry.
Ingeniously designed for versatility, the shtender's angle can be adjusted by fitting the stand into one of the multiple notches along the center bar of the base, allowing for personalized comfort and usability. A stunning and historically rich piece, this brass shtender is not only a functional bookstand but also a testament to the timeless beauty of European metalwork and Judaica craftsmanship.

18th Century Polish Brass Hanukkah Lamp
Located in New York, NY
The backplate is cast and pierced with a central two-handled vase of flowers, flanked by fully formed birds with their heads turned outward. The side panels fitted with two servant lights, fronted by a row of eight oil fonts. Scholars theorize that these Polish Chanukah Lamps that bear two servant lights (as opposed to the singular servant light normally found on a Chanukah Lamp), served a purpose, having been used on one of the days that Chanukah fell on the Sabbath, as Sabbath Candlesticks.
