Brass Judaica Shabbat candlestick holders with enamel inlay from Israel
History
These brass Shabbat candlestick holders were produced in Israel, likely during the mid-20th century (1950s-1970s). They feature traditional hexagonal bases with decorative enamel inlay work in geometric patterns, representing a blend of traditional Jewish ritual objects with mid-century design aesthetics. Shabbat candlesticks hold significant religious importance in Jewish households, used to light candles before sunset on Friday to usher in the Sabbath. These particular candlesticks are valued by collectors of Judaica, Israeli decorative arts, and mid-century religious artifacts for their cultural significance and distinctive design that combines traditional function with decorative elements typical of Israeli brass work from this period.
